CVE-2026-76356 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.1/10 on the CVSS scale. In Splunk SOAR versions below 8.6.0, an unauthenticated user could spoof the source IP address in a crafted request to an Automation Broker notification endpoint and execute arbitrary code on the Splunk SOAR host. The vulnerability is possible because the Splunk SOAR Automation Broker trusts a client-supplied source IP address header as proof that the request originates from the local system. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
