CVE-2021-3034: Cortex XSOAR: Secrets for SAML single sign-on (SSO) integration may be logged in system logs

Published Mar 10, 2021
·
Updated

An information exposure through log file vulnerability exists in Cortex XSOAR software where the secrets configured for the SAML single sign-on (SSO) integration can be logged to the '/var/log/demisto/' server logs when testing the integration during setup. This logged information includes the private key and identity provider certificate used to configure the SAML SSO integration. This issue impacts: Cortex XSOAR 5.5.0 builds earlier than 98622; Cortex XSOAR 6.0.1 builds earlier than 830029; Cortex XSOAR 6.0.2 builds earlier than 98623; Cortex XSOAR 6.1.0 builds earlier than 848144.

Recommended actions to resolve this vulnerability, in priority order.

  1. Upgrade

    Upgrade Cortex XSOAR to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 5.5.0 build 98622
  2. Upgrade

    Upgrade Cortex XSOAR to a version that resolves this vulnerability.

    Fixed in 6.0.1 build 830029
  3. Upgrade

    Upgrade Cortex XSOAR to a version that resolves this vulnerability.
