DescriptionNVD

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, and Splunk Secure Gateway versions below 3.10.9, 3.9.23, and 3.8.70, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could read Spacebridge asymmetric private keys, which are secrets that compromise affected Spacebridge private-key material stored in the app collection, through the Splunk Secure Gateway App Key Value Store Representational State Transfer (REST) API. The vulnerability is possible on instances upgraded from older Splunk Secure Gateway deployments when the private-key migration remains incomplete, leaving key material in a collection with an insecure default access control list.

AnalysisAI

Insufficient access controls on the Splunk Secure Gateway App Key Value Store REST API expose Spacebridge asymmetric private keys to any authenticated low-privilege user lacking the 'admin' or 'power' role. The exposure is conditional on instances that were upgraded from older Splunk Secure Gateway deployments where a private-key migration remained incomplete, leaving sensitive cryptographic material in a KVStore collection governed by an insecure default ACL. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain low-privilege Splunk credentials
Delivery
Authenticate to Splunk REST API
Exploit
Query Secure Gateway KVStore collection endpoint
Execution
Retrieve Spacebridge asymmetric private key material
Impact
Use key to impersonate Spacebridge or decrypt mobile client communications

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires: (1) a valid Splunk user account that does NOT hold the 'admin' or 'power' role - any lower-privileged authenticated user qualifies; (2) the target Splunk instance must have been previously upgraded from an older Splunk Secure Gateway deployment; and (3) the Spacebridge private-key migration must have remained incomplete after that upgrade, leaving key material in the original KVStore collection with an insecure default ACL. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor-assigned CVSS 5.3 (Medium) with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N accurately reflects the key risk trade-offs. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with any valid low-privilege Splunk account - such as a read-only analyst account or a service account - queries the Splunk Secure Gateway KVStore REST API endpoint targeting the collection storing Spacebridge private keys on an instance that underwent an incomplete key migration. The API returns the private key material due to the permissive default ACL, enabling the attacker to impersonate the Spacebridge server or decrypt communications between Splunk mobile clients and the Spacebridge backend. …
Remediation Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to version 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, or 9.4.14 (or later within the respective branches) and upgrade Splunk Secure Gateway to version 3.10.9, 3.9.23, or 3.8.70 (or later), as documented in the Splunk advisory SVD-2026-0801 at https://advisory.splunk.com/advisories/SVD-2026-0801. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
