CVE-2026-76365: The software constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component. in Splunk Splunk SOAR
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 list retrieval in a playbook, allowing for create, read, update, and delete operations on all relevant data stored in the Splunk SOAR database. The SQL injection is possible because Splunk SOAR builds the custom list database lookup with the supplied list name instead of a bound SQL value. For more information see Manage roles and permissions in Splunk SOAR (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) and Create custom lists for use in Splunk SOAR playbook comparisons (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-soar/soar-cloud/build-playbooks/manage-playbooks-and-playbook-settings/create-custom-lists-for-use-in-splunk-soar-cloud-playbook-comparisons) in the Splunk documentation.

Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-76365 is a SQL injection vulnerability in Splunk SOAR versions prior to 8.6.0. Users assigned the "Automation Engineer" role can exploit this by supplying crafted list names in playbook custom list retrievals, leading to arbitrary SQL execution on the backend database. This occurs due to unsafe construction of SQL queries without using bound parameters, allowing unauthorized modification and access to stored data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with the Automation Engineer role can perform unauthorized create, read, update, and delete operations on the Splunk SOAR database. This compromises the confidentiality and integrity of the data stored within the platform. Availability impact is not indicated. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.5 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict the Automation Engineer role to trusted users only and review playbook custom list usage carefully to limit exposure. Monitor vendor channels for updates regarding patches or official mitigations.
