Incident-summary disclosure via overbroad email reports

Published May 11, 2022 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Improper authorization in Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR allows remote authenticated users to read unauthorized incident summaries via email reports. The email-report generator includes summaries for every incident without enforcing the requesting account's incident-access restrictions. The flaw affects all 6.1, 6.2, and 6.5 releases and 6.6 before 6.6.0.2585049; membership in any non-Read-Only group is sufficient.
