vulnerability:

  - A vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app on Windows allows a remote attacker to run ActiveX
    controls within the context of an authenticated Windows user. This enables the attacker to run commands as if they
    are a legitimate authenticated user. However, to exploit this vulnerability, the authenticated user must navigate
    to a malicious page during the GlobalProtect SAML login process on a Windows device. This issue does not apply to
    the GlobalProtect app on other (non-Windows) platforms. (CVE-2025-0118)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
