Description

In Splunk SOAR versions below 8.6.0, a user with app-install privileges could use path traversal during app installation to write files outside the intended temporary directory. The vulnerability is a path traversal in the archive extraction routine, which does not validate that extracted file paths stay within the intended destination directory. For more information see Manage roles and permissions in Splunk SOAR (On-premises) (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-soar/soar-on-premises/administer-soar-on-premises/8.5.0/manage-your-splunk-soar-on-premises-users-and-accounts/manage-roles-and-permissions-in-splunk-soar-on-premises) and Add and configure apps and assets to provide actions in Splunk SOAR (On-premises) (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-soar/soar-on-premises/administer-soar-on-premises/8.5.0/manage-your-splunk-soar-on-premises-apps-and-assets/add-and-configure-apps-and-assets-to-provide-actions-in-splunk-soar-on-premises) in the Splunk documentation.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability in Splunk SOAR versions below 8.6.0 allows a user with app-install privileges to exploit path traversal during app installation. The issue occurs because the archive extraction routine does not validate file paths, enabling writes outside the intended temporary directory.

Impact Analysis

An attacker could write malicious files to unintended locations on the system, potentially leading to unauthorized code execution, data corruption, or system compromise. This could allow further attacks or unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access or modification of sensitive data, violating confidentiality and integrity requirements in GDPR and HIPAA. Non-compliance risks include legal penalties, data breaches, and loss of trust.
