AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L
Network-accessible race condition requires authenticated low-privilege upload rights and a concurrent victim upload; integrity is high as attacker fully controls substituted model content.
Primary rating from Vendor (cisco).

Lifecycle Timeline

In Splunk AI Toolkit versions below 6.0.0, a user who can upload models could overwrite a model being uploaded by another user by sending a concurrent upload request for the same model name, causing the resulting model lookup entry to reference attacker-controlled content. The race condition is possible because Splunk AI Toolkit does not verify that the uploaded content belongs to the request that creates the model lookup entry. For more information see Troubleshoot the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-cloud-platform/apply-machine-learning/machine-learning-toolkit-user-guide/5.5.0/troubleshooting-mltk/troubleshoot-the-splunk-machine-learning-toolkit) in the Splunk documentation.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated model content injection in Splunk AI Toolkit below 6.0.0 allows an authenticated attacker with model upload privileges to overwrite another user's in-progress model upload by racing concurrent requests to the same model name, causing the resulting model lookup entry to reference attacker-controlled content. The root cause is the toolkit's failure to bind uploaded file content to the specific request that creates the corresponding model lookup entry, enabling a TOCTOU-style substitution. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an active, authenticated Splunk account holding the role permission to upload models in Splunk AI Toolkit (PR:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The vendor-assigned CVSS 3.1 score of 5.9 (Medium) reflects several moderating factors: AV:N (exploitable over the network via Splunk web interface), AC:H (high attack complexity due to race condition timing requirements), PR:L (low-privilege authenticated access required - attacker must have model upload rights), and UI:R (victim user interaction is required, as the race requires a concurrent legitimate upload from another user). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An authenticated attacker with model upload rights in a shared Splunk environment monitors activity (or socially engineers timing) to determine when a colleague is uploading a model under a known name. The attacker simultaneously issues a concurrent upload request for the identical model name, containing attacker-controlled model content. … |
| Remediation | Upgrade Splunk AI Toolkit to version 6.0.0 or later, which addresses the race condition by properly binding uploaded content to the originating request before creating the model lookup entry. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
