Updated

In versions below 2.4.5 of the Cisco Secure Malware Analytics app for Splunk SOAR, a user who holds a role with permission to run actions could expose a sensitive sample password by invoking the detonate file action, because the action's samplepassword parameter is not masked and is shown in cleartext in the user interface. The information disclosure is possible because the app does not mark the affected action parameter as a password.
