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 use crafted report notification data to cause Splunk Secure Gateway to send a request to the Splunk Enterprise Representational State Transfer (REST) API using a system-level session token and modify the Splunk platform configuration. The user could then obtain a session token without a password and use it to access all relevant data and affect system integrity. The vulnerability is possible because Splunk Secure Gateway does not validate decoded report notification identifiers before using them to construct requests to the Splunk Enterprise REST API.
AnalysisAI
Splunk Secure Gateway's failure to validate decoded report notification identifiers enables any authenticated low-privileged user to hijack system-level REST API sessions in Splunk Enterprise, achieving full configuration control and credential theft without requiring admin or power role. Affected versions span multiple Splunk Enterprise branches (9.4.x, 10.0.x, 10.2.x, 10.4.x) and Splunk Secure Gateway branches (3.8.x, 3.9.x, 3.10.x). …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must hold any valid Splunk account that does not have the 'admin' or 'power' role - standard analyst, user, or read-only accounts qualify. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 8.8 score with vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H accurately reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity exploit requiring only a standard (non-privileged) Splunk account - a realistic bar in any enterprise running Splunk with multiple internal users. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with a standard, low-privileged Splunk account (no admin or power role required) sends a crafted report notification payload to Splunk Secure Gateway containing manipulated report identifiers. Secure Gateway, without validating these identifiers, constructs a REST API call to Splunk Enterprise using a system-level session token and executes the attacker-controlled request - allowing the attacker to extract the system token and subsequently modify platform-wide configuration or access sensitive indexed data across all Splunk indexes. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to version 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, or 9.4.14 (matching your current major.minor branch), and upgrade Splunk Secure Gateway to version 3.10.9, 3.9.23, or 3.8.70 accordingly. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, identify all deployed Splunk Enterprise and Secure Gateway instances matching the affected versions (9.4.x, 10.0.x, 10.2.x, 10.4.x for Enterprise; 3.8.x, 3.9.x, 3.10.x for Gateway) and review access logs for suspicious session hijacking attempts or unauthorized configuration changes. …
