Assigner: Cisco Systems, Inc.

Description

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.

Exploitability

CWE
CWE Icon
KEV
KEV Icon
CWE ID Description
CWE-89 The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw in Splunk SOAR versions below 8.6.0. A user with the Automation Engineer role can run arbitrary SQL statements against the database through custom function results. The issue occurs because the system builds database lookups using user-supplied names instead of bound SQL values.

Detection Guidance

Detection requires monitoring Splunk SOAR logs for unusual SQL queries or database access patterns. Check for users with the 'Automation Engineer' role executing custom functions. Review database query logs for unrecognized or suspicious SQL statements.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with the Automation Engineer role could read all data stored in the Splunk SOAR database and alter system integrity. This includes sensitive information such as user credentials, configuration details, and other critical data.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access and exposure of sensitive data, violating compliance requirements under GDPR, HIPAA, and other regulations. It may result in data breaches, legal penalties, and reputational damage.

Mitigation Strategies
  • Upgrade Splunk SOAR to version 8.6.0 or higher to address the SQL injection flaw.
  • Restrict the 'Automation Engineer' role permissions to limit database access.
  • Audit user roles and remove unnecessary privileges for the affected role.
  • Monitor database activity for unauthorized SQL queries or data exfiltration attempts.
