SQL Injection in Splunk SOAR

Publication date: 2026-08-19

Last updated on: 2026-08-19

Assigner: Cisco Systems, Inc.

Description

In Splunk SOAR versions below 8.6.0, a user who holds the "Automation Engineer" role could run arbitrary Structured Query Language (SQL) statements against the Splunk SOAR database and create, read, update, or delete all data in the database. The vulnerability is possible because Splunk SOAR playbook automation data APIs incorporate user-supplied input into database queries without proper neutralization. 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.

Executive Summary

In Splunk SOAR versions below 8.6.0, a user with the Automation Engineer role can run arbitrary SQL statements against the Splunk SOAR database. This is possible because playbook automation data APIs include user-supplied input in database queries without proper neutralization, allowing them to create, read, update, or delete all data in the database.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check Splunk SOAR versions below 8.6.0 for unauthorized SQL queries or database modifications. Review logs for playbook automation data API calls with suspicious input. No specific commands are provided in the context.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with the Automation Engineer role could access, modify, or delete sensitive data in the Splunk SOAR database, leading to data breaches, unauthorized changes, or loss of critical information.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to non-compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, or other regulations due to unauthorized data access, modification, or deletion, potentially resulting in legal penalties and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Splunk SOAR to version 8.6.0 or higher to address the SQL injection vulnerability. Restrict the Automation Engineer role to only necessary permissions and monitor database access logs for suspicious SQL queries.
