A credential exposure vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app on Windows devices could enable a remote attacker to gain encrypted user credentials, used for connecting to GlobalProtect, from the exposure of application logs.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
