{"id":"CVE-2026-76372","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"Incorrect Permission Assignment through Safe Mode in Nmap Scanner for Splunk SOAR","description":"In Nmap Scanner versions below 3.0.15, a user who holds a role that can edit, create, or run playbooks in Splunk SOAR could run the scan network action in a Safe Mode playbook while that action is listed as read-only, which could allow for command execution or other changes on a target system through Nmap Scripting Engine scripts. The vulnerability is possible because the Nmap Scanner connector action manifest classifies the scan network action as read-only even though the action accepts script parameters that can perform write operations.
