07 Remediation

This issue is fixed in GlobalProtect app 5.1.10 on Windows and MacOS, GlobalProtect app 5.2.9 on Windows and MacOS, and all later GlobalProtect app versions with the ‘force-disable-sso’ app setting. Set ‘force-disable-sso’ to ‘yes’ to prevent unintended transmission of the local user credentials as described here: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/globalprotect/10-1/globalprotect-admin/globalprotect-apps/deploy-app-settings-transparently/customizable-app-settings/app-behavior-options.html
