Summary
In FireAMP versions below 2.1.15, a user who holds a role that can edit, create, or run playbooks in Splunk SOAR could run the add listitem action in a Safe Mode playbook while that action is listed as read-only, which could allow for unauthorized changes to file lists. The vulnerability is possible because the FireAMP connector action manifest classifies the add listitem action as read-only even though the action updates file lists. For more information see Manage settings for a playbook in Splunk SOAR (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-soar/soar-cloud/build-playbooks/manage-playbooks-and-playbook-settings/manage-settings-for-a-playbook-in-splunk-soar-cloud) in the Splunk documentation.
