| Exploitation Conditions | Requires a valid authenticated Splunk account that does NOT hold the admin or power roles (PR:L), and exploitation goes through the Splunk Secure Gateway feature (the mobile/remote access gateway shipped with Splunk Enterprise), which must be in use for dashboard and report requests. The attacker injects special characters into filter values because Splunk Secure Gateway fails to neutralize them before building dashboard/report filters. Limiting factor: the disclosure is confined to dashboard and report LISTINGS within objects the user is already permitted to access, so it only widens filter scope rather than granting access to otherwise-forbidden objects; deployments not using Secure Gateway, or already on the fixed versions, are not exposed. |
| Impact | This is a genuinely low-priority issue despite being network-reachable. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N, base 4.3 Medium) describes a low-privileged but authenticated attacker (PR:L) with low attack complexity and no user interaction, yielding only a limited confidentiality impact (C:L) and no integrity or availability impact. Crucially, the description constrains the leak further: the user can view dashboard and report LISTINGS beyond the requested filter scope but still only within objects the user is already authorized to access, so this is a filter-scope/enumeration weakness rather than a true cross-tenant or privilege-escalation access-control bypass. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public proof-of-concept were provided in the input, so there is no signal of active or probable exploitation and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The SSVC framework is not supplied. Net assessment: a real but minor information-disclosure bug suitable for routine patching cycles, not emergency remediation; the broad real-world footprint of Splunk is the main reason to patch promptly rather than any exploitation pressure. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated Splunk user who lacks the admin or power roles crafts a dashboard or report listing request through Splunk Secure Gateway, embedding special characters in the filter values so the server-side filter is manipulated (NoSQL-style injection, CWE-943). This returns dashboard and report listings beyond the intended filter scope, though still limited to objects the user can already access. No public exploit code was identified at time of analysis, and exploitation requires valid low-privilege credentials. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Information disclosure in Splunk Enterprise (below 10.4.4, 10.2.8, 10.0.11, and 9.4.16) and Splunk Secure Gateway (below 3.10.12, 3.9.26, and 3.8.73) allows an authenticated user who does not hold the admin or power roles to view dashboard and report listings beyond the requested filter scope. The flaw is a low-severity (CVSS 4.3) NoSQL-style filter injection in Secure Gateway that is limited to objects the user can already access, so it widens listing visibility rather than granting access to forbidden objects. No public exploit code or CISA KEV entry was identified at time of analysis, and exposure requires that Secure Gateway be in use.
RemediationAI
Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to 10.4.4, 10.2.8, 10.0.11, or 9.4.16, and upgrade Splunk Secure Gateway to 3.10.12, 3.9.26, or 3.8.73; Splunk's advisory is at https://advisory.splunk.com/advisories/SVD-2026-1007. If immediate upgrade is not possible, disable or restrict Splunk Secure Gateway for users who do not require mobile/remote dashboard access (trade-off: breaks Secure Gateway-dependent mobile workflows), and review dashboard/report permissions so low-privileged accounts see only intended listings (trade-off: may require role and knowledge-object cleanup). Monitor Secure Gateway logs for unusual filter values as a detective control.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Splunk Secure Gateway is the mobile/remote-access gateway component shipped with Splunk Enterprise; it constructs filters for dashboard and report requests. CWE-943 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Data Query Logic) describes the root cause: Secure Gateway fails to neutralize special characters in filter values before embedding them in the query/filter logic, letting a low-privileged authenticated user (PR:L) escape the intended filter scope. The affected CPEs are splunk:splunk_enterprise and splunk:splunk_secure_gateway. Because the resulting disclosure stays within dashboard and report objects the user is already permitted to access, impact is confidentiality-only (C:L) and limited to listing metadata rather than object contents. The attack is network-reachable (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and no user interaction (UI:N).

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.4, 10.2.8, 10.0.11, and 9.4.16, and Splunk Secure Gateway versions below 3.10.12, 3.9.26, and 3.8.73, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could view dashboard and report listings beyond the requested filter scope while remaining within objects that the user can access. The vulnerability is possible because Splunk Secure Gateway does not neutralize special characters in values before it creates filters for dashboard and report requests. For more information see About configuring role-based user access (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/manage-users-and-security/10.2/manage-splunk-platform-users-and-roles/about-configuring-role-based-user-access) in the Splunk documentation.
