CVE-2022-0027 — Paloaltonetworks Cortex Xsoar security vulnerability

Medium CVSS 4.3

An improper authorization vulnerability in Palo Alto Network Cortex XSOAR software enables authenticated users in non-Read-Only groups to generate an email report that contains summary information about all incidents in the Cortex XSOAR instance, including incidents to which the user does not have access. This issue impacts: All versions of Cortex XSOAR 6.1; All versions of Cortex XSOAR 6.2; All versions of Cortex XSOAR 6.5; Cortex XSOAR 6.6 versions earlier than Cortex XSOAR 6.6.0 build 6.6.0.2585049.

Matched remediation archetype

Authorization bypass, IDOR, and cross-tenant access

This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.

Check exposure

  • Map object and action authorization checks across API, UI, batch, import/export, and background-job paths.
  • Identify tenant, ownership, role, and policy boundaries for affected resources and administrative operations.
  • Use synthetic fixtures to compare intended access matrices without accessing another user's real data.

Remediate safely

  • Enforce server-side authorization at each resource access and state transition using the authenticated principal and trusted tenant context.
  • Scope data queries by tenant and ownership; treat client-supplied identifiers, roles, and policy claims as untrusted.
  • Add deny-by-default policy tests for horizontal and vertical access across every affected transport.
