Last modified

CVE-2026-76372 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.6/10 on the CVSS scale. 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. EPSS estimates a 0.30% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
