Scope changed to C because the confidentiality impact falls on other users' tokens, crossing the security boundary of the exploiting account; PR:L confirmed by the description's explicit 'non-admin, non-power user' framing.

DescriptionCVE.org

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, and Splunk Secure Gateway versions below 3.10.10, 3.9.24, and 3.8.71, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could register an arbitrary companion app and cause Splunk Secure Gateway to forward mobile user requests, including tokens that compromise all relevant data available to the affected mobile user, to an attacker-controlled Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The vulnerability is possible because a hard-coded cryptographic key in the Splunk Secure Gateway companion app registration handler allows for arbitrary callback URL registration without restriction. For more information see Define roles on the Splunk platform with capabilities (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/manage-users-and-security/10.2/manage-splunk-platform-users-and-roles/define-roles-on-the-splunk-platform-with-capabilities) in the Splunk documentation.

AnalysisAI

Splunk Secure Gateway's companion app registration handler contains a hard-coded cryptographic key, enabling any low-privileged authenticated Splunk user - explicitly excluding admin or power roles - to register an arbitrary attacker-controlled callback URL and cause Secure Gateway to forward mobile user requests and authentication tokens to that URL. Affected are Splunk Enterprise branches 9.4 (below 9.4.14), 10.0 (below 10.0.9), 10.2 (below 10.2.6), and 10.4 (below 10.4.2), alongside Splunk Secure Gateway branches 3.8 (below 3.8.71), 3.9 (below 3.9.24), and 3.10 (below 3.10.10). …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate as any low-privileged Splunk user
Delivery
Craft companion app registration request with hard-coded key
Exploit
Register attacker-controlled callback URL in Secure Gateway
Execution
Victim mobile users authenticate through Secure Gateway
Persist
Mobile session tokens silently forwarded to attacker server
Impact
Attacker uses captured tokens to access victim Splunk data

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires an authenticated Splunk session held by any standard user account - the CVE description explicitly states that users who do NOT hold the 'admin' or 'power' roles are the threat actors, meaning the lowest tier of Splunk user is sufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects network-accessible exploitation by any low-privileged authenticated user with no user interaction required and high confidentiality impact through token theft. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker holding any low-privileged Splunk account (e.g., a read-only analyst or compromised service account) authenticates to Splunk and sends a crafted companion app registration request to the Splunk Secure Gateway endpoint, exploiting the hard-coded cryptographic key to register an attacker-controlled HTTPS server as a callback URL. Once registered, all subsequent mobile authentication requests from legitimate Splunk Mobile users are transparently forwarded - including their session tokens - to the attacker's server, granting the attacker access to all Splunk data and capabilities available to those mobile users without triggering any further authentication challenge. …
Remediation The primary fix is to upgrade Splunk Enterprise to version 9.4.14, 10.0.9, 10.2.6, or 10.4.2 (or later within each respective branch), and Splunk Secure Gateway to version 3.8.71, 3.9.24, or 3.10.10 (or later), per the vendor advisory at https://advisory.splunk.com/advisories/SVD-2026-0801. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
