Administrator actions via stored JavaScript payload
Published Feb 10, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
Stored XSS in the Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR web interface allows remote authenticated users to perform administrator actions. The vendor states that the interface stores a persistent JavaScript payload but does not identify the affected input or missing output-encoding operation. Exploitation requires high-privilege access and an authenticated administrator to encounter the payload during normal operations, after which it performs arbitrary interface actions on that administrator’s behalf.
