Technical details

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Splunk SOAR's app documentation display functionality. An authenticated user with the install_apps capability can craft a malicious app with unsanitized content in its documentation; when another authenticated user with app-viewing permissions opens the documentation, the injected script executes in their browser context. The attacker gains the ability to access data and perform actions with the victim's permissions, though exploitation requires social engineering.
