This can lead to phishing attacks aimed at stealing user credentials. The attack requires no special privileges or user interaction beyond clicking the link.
Affected Products
- GlobalProtect Gateway: Vulnerable to XSS attacks that can lead to credential theft.
- GlobalProtect Portal: Affected by the same XSS vulnerability, allowing execution of malicious scripts.
Mitigation
