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

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.

Exploit status

No known public exploit

No public exploit has been observed yet. That doesn't mean you're safe, only that the bar is a little higher.

Research context

For pentesters and researchers: attack profile, score disagreement, timeline, patch commits, credits, variant and chain candidates, bug bounty scope. All derived from existing data; no exploit code.

Timeline

From publication to today: proof of concept, Metasploit module, CISA KEV and fix record. Dates are as reported by the sources.

No dated events beyond publication.

Variant candidates

Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.

No nightly-computed relations.

Chain candidates

An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
