CVE-2022-0029 The Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR agent on Windows devices has an improper link resolution vulnerability that allows a local attacker to read files with elevated privileges.

The vulnerability is due to an insufficient input validation when parsing a crafted tech support file. An attacker can send a malicious tech support file to a victim or host a malicious file on a shared hosting server and trick a user doing a search for a solution to the problem on the affected device. The attacker could also host a malicious file on a shared server and trick a user doing a search for a solution to the problem on the affected device. An attacker could also send a malicious tech support file to a victim or host a malicious file on a shared hosting server and trick a user doing a search for a solution to the problem on the affected device. The attacker could also host a malicious file on a shared server and trick a user doing a search for a solution to the problem on the affected device. An attacker could also send a malicious tech support file to a victim or host a malicious file on a shared hosting server and trick a user doing a search for a solution to the problem on the affected device. The attacker could also host a malicious file on a shared server and trick a user doing a search for a solution to the problem on the affected device. An attacker could also send a malicious tech support file to a victim or host a malicious file on a shared hosting server and trick a user doing a search for a solution to the problem on the affected device

Exploitation of the Vulnerability

An attacker may be able to execute code on the affected system. The exploit allows for remote code execution by creating a malicious tech support file and convincing the user to download it.

Bug Description

This vulnerability was discovered by security researcher Valentin Emile Gudet at NCC Group of the National Cyber Security Centre, Romania.
The flaw is in a URL parsing function with insufficient input validation.
