CVE-2022-0018 is an information exposure vulnerability in Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect app on Windows and macOS versions 5.1 (earlier than 5.1.10) and 5.2 (earlier than 5.2.9). When the Single Sign-On feature is enabled, the app inadvertently sends local user account credentials to the GlobalProtect portal if these credentials differ from the GlobalProtect login. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.5) has a network attack vector and low attack complexity, potentially leading to high confidentiality impact by exposing local user credentials. There is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion, and it is not listed on the CISA KEV catalog.
