2DescriptionCVE.org
An authentication bypass vulnerability in the network driver of Palo Alto Networks Prisma® Access Agent on Windows enables a local administrator to bypass security inspection, subsequently allowing them to inject and intercept arbitrary network traffic.
The Prisma Access Agent on Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS is not affected.
AnalysisAI
Authentication bypass in the Windows network driver of Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Agent allows a local administrator to circumvent the agent's security inspection enforcement, subsequently enabling injection and interception of arbitrary network traffic. Only the Windows platform is affected - Linux, macOS, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS deployments are explicitly confirmed unaffected by the vendor. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires local administrator privileges on a Windows system running the Palo Alto Networks Prisma Access Agent - confirmed by AV:L (local attack vector) and PR:H (high privileges required) in the CVSS 4.0 vector. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 2.1 reflects the high privilege requirement (PR:H) and local-only attack vector (AV:L), producing a low exploitability score despite meaningful subsequent-system impact (SC:H/SI:H). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | The primary remediation is to apply the patched version of Prisma Access Agent for Windows as released by Palo Alto Networks; the exact fix version should be obtained from the official advisory at https://security.paloaltonetworks.com/CVE-2026-0292, as a specific fixed version was not provided in the available input data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
