CVE-2017-15870
Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect Agent before 4.0.3 allows attackers with administration rights on the local station to gain SYSTEM privileges via vectors involving "image path execution hijacking."
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.43%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
