DescriptionCVE.org

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could perform Remote Code Execution (RCE) by submitting crafted Splunk Web Manager Configuration content. The user could then access all relevant data and affect system integrity and availability. The vulnerability is possible because Splunk Web evaluates manager Extensible Markup Language expressions without sufficient input restrictions, and the associated configuration route does not require the capability expected for manager configuration changes. For more information see About configuration files (https://help.splunk.com/en/data-management/splunk-enterprise-admin-manual/10.4/administer-splunk-enterprise-with-configuration-files/about-configuration-files) in the Splunk documentation.

AnalysisAI

Remote code execution in Splunk Enterprise allows any authenticated low-privilege user - one who does not hold the 'admin' or 'power' role - to execute arbitrary code by submitting crafted XML content to the Splunk Web Manager Configuration endpoint. The vulnerability combines two weaknesses: server-side evaluation of manager XML expressions without sufficient input restrictions (CWE-94), and a missing capability check on the configuration route that should gate such access. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a valid Splunk Enterprise user account that does NOT hold the 'admin' or 'power' Splunk role - any lower-privileged authenticated account is sufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H scoring 8.8 accurately reflects the threat profile: network-exploitable, no special conditions, minimal authentication, and full C/I/A compromise. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with a standard Splunk user account - obtained through credential phishing, password reuse, or an internally provisioned account - sends a crafted HTTP request containing malicious XML to the Splunk Web Manager Configuration endpoint. Because the route does not enforce the required capability check, the request is accepted and the XML is evaluated server-side, triggering code injection. …
Remediation Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to version 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, or 9.4.14 per the applicable branch, as documented in vendor advisory SVD-2026-0801 at https://advisory.splunk.com/advisories/SVD-2026-0801. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Splunk Enterprise instances in your environment and identify those running versions 9.4.x, 10.0.x, 10.2.x, or 10.4.x; coordinate with Splunk administration to confirm patch status and baseline current configurations. …
