CVE-2025-22621: Privilege escalation for users who hold the “splunk_app_soar“ role in the Splunk App for SOAR
First published: Tue Jan 07 2025(Updated: )
In versions 1.0.67 and lower of the Splunk App for SOAR, the Splunk documentation for that app recommended adding the `admin_all_objects` capability to the `splunk_app_soar` role. This addition could lead to improper access control for a low-privileged user that does not hold the "admin" Splunk roles.
