MEDIUM 5.5UPGRADE

CVE-2026-0267 is a medium-severity flaw (CVSS 5.5) affecting globalprotect. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

An information exposure vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app on macOS enables a local user to learn the configured passcodes for disabling, disconnecting, or uninstalling the GlobalProtect app. After the passcode is known, the user can perform these actions even if the GlobalProtect app configuration would not normally permit them to do so.

Affected: >= 6.2.0 and < 6.2.8 · >= 6.3.0 and < 6.3.3 · 6.2.8 · 6.2.8 h1 · 6.3.3

Fixed in: 6.2.8, 6.3.3

Safe to downgrade to: a release before 6.2.0

1. Check installed version

apt-cache policy globalprotect || rpm -q globalprotect || globalprotect --version

2. UPGRADE to 6.2.8 (Debian / Ubuntu)

sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade globalprotect

2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

sudo dnf upgrade globalprotect

Note

Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 6.2.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)

apt-cache madison globalprotect sudo apt install globalprotect=<VERSION_BEFORE_6.2.0> sudo apt-mark hold globalprotect

3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)

dnf --showduplicates list globalprotect sudo dnf downgrade globalprotect-<VERSION_BEFORE_6.2.0> sudo dnf versionlock add globalprotect

Downgrade risk

Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.

After downgrade

Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
