High CVSS 7.8

CVE-2026-0278

Paloaltonetworks Prisma Access Agent

Multiple protection mechanism failures in the Prisma Access Agent Data Loss Prevention (DLP) component for Windows allow a local user to bypass DLP policy enforcement controls. The Prisma Access Agent on macOS is not affected.

What this means

Exposure
Exploitable with local access to the machine, with an ordinary user account and with no action from the victim.
Impact
An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
Weakness
An intended protection is missing or can be bypassed.
Likelihood
Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.

What to doFold into the next patch cycle.
