If the account has minimally privileged access, an attacker could disrupt the operations of the User-ID Credential Agent. Palo Alto Networks recommends that customers upgrade their User-ID Credential Agent to version 11.0.3 or later to fix the security issue.

For configurations with a minimally privileged service account, the rating is Low, with a CVSS score of 5.8. Palo Alto Networks has stated that it is not aware of any malicious exploitation of this vulnerability in the wild.
This vulnerability shows the risks of misconfigurations and the need to follow security best practices, particularly for privileged accounts.
