Affected: Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Agent

A vulnerability with a privilege management mechanism in the Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Agent® enables a locally authenticated non-administrative user to escalate their privileges to root on macOS and Linux or NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on Windows. This allows the user to execute arbitrary code and read sensitive information otherwise accessible only to privileged accounts.

The Prisma Access Agent on iOS, Android and Chrome OS are not affected.
