CVE-2021-3034

SAML secret disclosure via integration test logging

Published Mar 10, 2021 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Sensitive information exposure in affected Cortex XSOAR 5.5.0 through 6.1.0 builds allows local users to read SAML SSO secrets. The SAML integration test path writes the configured private key and identity-provider certificate into files under /var/log/demisto/. Exposure requires a SAML-configured appliance on which the Test button or another integration-testing function ran, and reading the secrets requires high local privileges.
