Technical details

This vulnerability (CWE-647) involves improper authorization decisions based on URL path canonicalization. An attacker can craft non-canonical URL paths (such as those containing encodings, redundant slashes, or path traversal sequences) that are processed differently by the authorization logic compared to the actual resource handler, allowing access to restricted functionality. The flaw affects Splunk SOAR versions below 8.7.0 and is exploitable via network access without requiring user interaction.

Affected products

  • Splunk SOAR Below 8.7.0
