CVE-2023-38020Network attack vector

Authenticated log-output manipulation

Published Feb 2, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Log injection in IBM SOAR QRadar Plugin App 1.0 through 5.0.3 allows remote authenticated users to manipulate log-file output. IBM identifies improper output neutralization for logs but has not published the affected function, input field, or missing neutralization step. Low-privileged network access to the application is required, and the documented consequence is limited to log integrity.
