CVE-2026-76358
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.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.52%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
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.
