Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
In Splunk SOAR versions below 8.6.0, a user who holds the "Automation Engineer" Splunk SOAR role could run arbitrary Structured Query Language (SQL) statements against the Splunk SOAR database through custom function results, allowing for reading all relevant data stored in the Splunk SOAR database and affecting system integrity. The SQL injection is possible because Splunk SOAR builds the database lookup with the supplied name instead of a bound SQL value. For more information see Manage roles and permissions in Splunk SOAR (Cloud) (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-soar/soar-cloud/administer-soar-cloud/manage-your-splunk-soar-cloud-users-and-accounts/manage-roles-and-permissions-in-splunk-soar-cloud) in the Splunk documentation.
AnalysisAI
SQL injection in Splunk SOAR below version 8.6.0 enables authenticated users holding the "Automation Engineer" role to execute arbitrary SQL statements against the SOAR backend database by supplying crafted values through custom function results. The root cause (CWE-89) is Splunk SOAR concatenating the user-supplied name directly into the database lookup query rather than using parameterized, bound SQL values. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an authenticated session in Splunk SOAR with the "Automation Engineer" role explicitly assigned to the attacker's account; this is not the default user role and must be granted by an administrator. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) yields a score of 6.5, correctly reflecting network accessibility at low complexity but gating exploitation on the high-privilege Automation Engineer role - a meaningful constraint that the raw score does not fully communicate. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker holding or having compromised an account with the Automation Engineer role in Splunk SOAR authors or modifies a custom function whose result name contains a SQL injection payload. When SOAR processes the custom function result and constructs the database lookup without parameterization, the injected SQL is executed against the backend database. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade to Splunk SOAR 8.6.0 or later, which resolves the injection by replacing direct string concatenation with properly bound SQL parameter values; the fix version is confirmed by the EUVD record and vendor advisory at https://advisory.splunk.com/advisories/SVD-2026-0804. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
