CVE-2026-76359
Last modified
CVE-2026-76359 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.5/10 on the CVSS scale. In Splunk SOAR versions below 8.6.0, a user who holds the Administrator role could use path traversal in the Universal Forwarder installer's archive extraction to write files outside the intended installation directory. The vulnerability is possible because the Universal Forwarder credentials-package extraction workflow does not verify that each archive member remains within the intended destination before extraction. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
