| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a valid Splunk SOAR account with a role that explicitly grants permission to run actions - this is a non-default, administratively assigned privilege, not available to all SOAR users. The AD LDAP App must be installed, configured, and connected to an Active Directory environment within the SOAR instance. The attacker must actively trigger write operations through the app (e.g., by executing a lookup or query action), which then causes AD response data to be logged. A secondary condition for data retrieval is access to the persistent debug log file, either directly on the SOAR host filesystem or via a downstream log pipeline. The CVSS PR:L metric confirms authentication is required; unauthenticated exploitation is not possible. Limiting factors include: requirement for an SOAR account with action-execution permissions (not all users), requirement for the AD LDAP app to be installed and in use, and requirement for access to log storage to retrieve the exposed data. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.3 score with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N accurately characterizes the exploitation profile: network-accessible, low complexity, requiring only a low-privileged authenticated SOAR account, with limited confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability consequences. No EPSS score was provided in the available intelligence data, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified numerically. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV and no public exploit code has been identified, making opportunistic mass exploitation unlikely at this time. The real-world risk, however, should not be dismissed purely on the basis of the 4.3 score: Active Directory data - user attributes, group memberships, privileged account details - is exactly the reconnaissance material adversaries seek during post-compromise lateral movement. An organization relying on Splunk SOAR for security operations and AD integration should treat this as a moderate-priority remediation item, particularly given that log files may flow into downstream log management or SIEM systems where the exposure widens. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated Splunk SOAR user with a role granting action-execution permissions triggers an AD LDAP app action - such as a user lookup or group membership query - as part of a playbook or manual action run. The app processes the LDAP response and writes the returned AD data to a persistent debug log file. The same user, or a separate actor who gains access to the log storage location, then reads the log to harvest Active Directory details such as privileged account names, group structures, or user attributes useful for lateral movement planning. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026
Sensitive Active Directory response data exposure in the AD LDAP App for Splunk SOAR (versions below 2.3.8) allows authenticated users holding action-execution permissions to cause AD directory data to be written to a persistent debug log file. The flaw is rooted in CWE-532 (insertion of sensitive information into log files) and is reachable over the network by any low-privileged SOAR user with the appropriate role. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified; Splunk has released a patch at version 2.3.8.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the AD LDAP App for Splunk SOAR to version 2.3.8 or later, which resolves the debug log exposure per Splunk advisory SVD-2026-0806 (https://advisory.splunk.com/advisories/SVD-2026-0806). If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict the 'run actions' permission to only the minimum set of users who require it operationally, reducing the pool of accounts that can trigger the logging behavior - note this does not eliminate the flaw, only reduces exposure. Administrators should also audit existing debug log files on affected SOAR instances for sensitive AD data, restrict log file access to authorized administrators, and consider rotating any credentials or sensitive attributes that may have been captured. If logs are forwarded to a SIEM or log aggregation platform, review retention policies and access controls on those downstream systems as well.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The affected component is the Splunk AD LDAP App for Splunk SOAR (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:splunk:ad_ldap_app_for_splunk_soar:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), an integration layer that connects Splunk SOAR's automation and orchestration platform to Active Directory via LDAP. CWE-532 describes the root cause class: sensitive data returned in LDAP query responses - such as user attributes, group memberships, distinguished names, or other directory objects - is inadvertently persisted to a debug log file rather than being handled transiently in memory. Debug log files in SOAR platforms are typically written to persistent storage accessible to administrators and, depending on configuration, potentially to log aggregation pipelines or SIEM systems, broadening the exposure surface beyond the immediate query context.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
In versions below 2.3.8 of the AD LDAP app for Splunk SOAR, a user who holds a role with permission to run actions could cause sensitive Active Directory response data to be written to a persistent debug log file by triggering write operations through the app. For more information see Run an action in Splunk SOAR (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-soar/soar-on-premises/use-splunk-soar-on-premises/8.6.0/use-the-command-line-interface-to-perform-tasks-in-splunk-soar-on-premises/run-an-action-in-splunk-soar-on-premises).
