Alert meAnalysisAIv2 – Oct 18, 2026
Stored/DOM cross-site scripting (CWE-79) in Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud Platform lets an authenticated low-privileged user - one holding any role below 'admin' or 'power' - inject malicious JavaScript through the dataset.command parameter of the /app/search/table endpoint, which then executes in the browser of any user who renders the crafted table view. The attacker cannot trigger the payload unaided: a second, potentially higher-privileged victim must be lured into loading the affected view (UI:R), and impact is confined to the victim's Splunk web session rather than the server. EPSS is low at 0.03% (8th percentile), no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the flaw is not in CISA KEV; vendor patches are available in Splunk Enterprise 9.4.4, 9.3.6 and 9.2.8, and in Splunk Cloud Platform 9.3.2411.109, 9.3.2408.119 and 9.2.2406.122.

RemediationAI
Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to 9.4.4, 9.3.6 or 9.2.8 (or a later release on the supported branch) per the vendor advisory at https://advisory.splunk.com/advisories/SVD-2025-1002; Splunk Cloud Platform customers on 9.3.2411, 9.3.2408 and 9.2.2406 should be at 9.3.2411.109, 9.3.2408.119 and 9.2.2406.122 respectively, with Splunk typically applying Cloud maintenance upgrades automatically - confirm the current build in the Cloud stack before assuming coverage. Because exploitation requires only low-privileged credentials plus victim interaction, the most effective interim control is reducing the population of accounts with access to Splunk Web search/table functionality: audit roles below 'admin'/'power', remove Splunk Web access from service or integration accounts that do not need it, and restrict network reachability to the Splunk Web port (typically 8000) to trusted administrative networks via load balancer or firewall ACLs - the trade-off is that broader user populations lose UI access and must use the REST API or forwarders instead. Where the Table view feature is not required, disabling or restricting the relevant app/view permissions through role-based access controls lowers exposure, at the cost of breaking legitimate dashboard reporting for those roles. Keep authentication requirements strict (no anonymous or shared low-privilege accounts) and monitor Splunk audit logs for unusual /app/search/table requests containing script-like dataset.command values, since the stored nature of the payload means the initial injection may precede the observable execution by some time.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Splunk Web exposes the /app/search/table endpoint, used by the Table view/visualization feature to build and render tabular results; the dataset.command parameter is passed into that rendering path without adequate output encoding or sanitization. Because the injected payload is persisted in a table view/artifact and later rendered for other users, this is a stored (with DOM-injection characteristics) cross-site scripting condition - CWE-79 - rather than a reflected one, which is why the CVSS vector carries S:C (scope change) alongside UI:R. The vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N reflects network reachability and no special attack complexity, but gates the attack behind valid low-privileged credentials and mandatory victim interaction, and caps confidentiality/integrity at Low with no availability impact. In practice, successful exploitation yields JavaScript execution in the victim's authenticated Splunk Web session - sufficient to read data the victim can see, alter rendered content, or perform actions as that user through the browser, but not to gain code execution on the Splunk indexer/search head itself. The CPE entries confirm the affected codebase spans both splunk:splunk (Enterprise, product-edition flags set to enterprise) and splunk:splunk_cloud_platform, i.e. the shared Splunk Web front end. The report is credited to psirt@cisco.com, consistent with Splunk's position within Cisco, and is tracked as SVD-2025-1002 and EUVD-2025-32715.

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.4.4, 9.3.6 and 9.2.8, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 9.3.2411.109, 9.3.2408.119 and 9.2.2406.122, a low-privileged user that does not hold the 'admin' or 'power' Splunk roles could craft a malicious payload through the dataset.command parameter of the /app/search/table endpoint, which could result in execution of unauthorized JavaScript code in the browser of a user.
Executive ViewAI
Organizations using Splunk Enterprise should be aware of moderate risk from CVE-2025-20367, a cross-site scripting vulnerability rated CVSS 5.7. Attackers could inject scripts to steal sessions or perform actions as authenticated users. Organizations should apply vendor updates when available and monitor for exploitation.
Apply vendor patch. If patching is delayed: implement CSP headers, enable HttpOnly cookies, deploy WAF XSS rules.
