MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires an authenticated Splunk account that does NOT hold the 'admin' Splunk role or the 'sc_admin' Splunk Secure Gateway role, plus network access to the Splunk Secure Gateway App Key Value Store (KV Store) REST API endpoints. The Splunk Secure Gateway app must be present/enabled (it ships to support mobile alerting), and the deployment must run a version below the fixed releases (Splunk Enterprise below 10.4.4/10.2.8/10.0.11/9.4.16, or Splunk Secure Gateway below 3.10.12/3.9.26/3.8.73). Limiting factors: valid credentials are mandatory (no unauthenticated access), impact is read-only against mobile alert notification data specifically, and risk is greatest in multi-user/multi-tenant environments where user data separation matters; single-admin or isolated deployments have little exposed data. |
| Impact | This is a moderate-severity information-disclosure flaw (CWE-862, Missing Authorization) with a vendor-assigned CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N). The vector signals favorable attacker conditions - network-reachable REST API, low attack complexity, no user interaction - but critically require PR:L, meaning the attacker must already be an authenticated low-privileged Splunk user (one lacking the 'admin' or 'sc_admin' role). Impact is confined to confidentiality (C:H) of mobile alert notification data belonging to other users; there is no integrity or availability impact (I:N/A:N) and no scope change (S:U). No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, POC reference, or SSVC decision data was provided in the input, so exploitation-probability and active-exploitation signals cannot be weighed. On balance this reads as a genuine but bounded access-control/tenant-isolation issue rather than a top-tier emergency: it requires valid credentials and yields only read access to a specific data category. It warrants prompt patching in multi-tenant or least-privilege Splunk deployments where internal users should not see each other's data, but it is not a remote-unauthenticated RCE. No conflicting signals were found between the CVSS vector and the description - both consistently describe an authenticated, network-facing read-authorization gap. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged but authenticated Splunk user (without admin/sc_admin roles), such as an insider or an attacker who has phished a standard account, issues crafted read requests to the Splunk Secure Gateway App Key Value Store REST API endpoints. Because the affected KV Store collections fail to enforce user-level authorization on reads, the attacker retrieves other users' mobile alert notification data. No public exploit code was identified in the provided data. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 21, 2026
Splunk Secure Gateway exposes mobile alert notification data belonging to other users to any authenticated low-privileged account that lacks the admin Splunk role or sc_admin Secure Gateway role. The flaw is missing user-level authorization on read requests to certain Secure Gateway App Key Value Store (KV Store) REST API collections, and it affects Splunk Enterprise releases below 10.4.4, 10.2.8, 10.0.11, and 9.4.16 plus Secure Gateway releases below 3.10.12, 3.9.26, and 3.8.73. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the vendor-assigned CVSS 3.1 score is 6.5 with a confidentiality-only impact.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: upgrade Splunk Enterprise to 10.4.4, 10.2.8, 10.0.11, or 9.4.16 (or later) and upgrade Splunk Secure Gateway to 3.10.12, 3.9.26, or 3.8.73 (or later), following the Splunk advisory at https://advisory.splunk.com/advisories/SVD-2026-1007. If immediate upgrade is not possible, disable or remove the Splunk Secure Gateway app when mobile alerting is not required, accepting the loss of mobile alert notifications; alternatively, use network ACLs or a reverse proxy to restrict access to the Secure Gateway KV Store REST API endpoints to trusted hosts and users, accepting possible breakage for legitimate mobile-alerting clients. Review role assignments to minimize low-privileged accounts that can reach the KV Store REST API until patched.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is CWE-862 (Missing Authorization) in the Splunk Secure Gateway app's App Key Value Store (KV Store) collections used for mobile alert notifications. KV Store is a MongoDB-backed app data store exposed through REST API endpoints; in affected versions, read requests to the relevant collections do not enforce per-user authorization, so a valid low-privileged session can retrieve records that should be scoped to other users. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N indicates network reachability with low privileges, no user interaction, and high confidentiality impact but no integrity or availability impact. CPE data identifies Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Secure Gateway as affected product families, and exploitation requires the Secure Gateway app to be present or enabled and the deployment to be below the fixed releases.

Reachable REST API gives AV:N/AC:L/UI:N; a valid low-privileged account is required so PR:L; read-only cross-user data exposure yields C:H with I:N/A:N and S:U.

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 low-privileged user that does not hold the "admin" Splunk role or the "sc_admin" Splunk Secure Gateway role could read mobile alert notification data for other users through Splunk Secure Gateway App Key Value Store (KV Store) Representational State Transfer (REST) API endpoints. The vulnerability is possible because the affected Splunk Secure Gateway App Key Value Store collections do not enforce user-level authorization for read requests. For more information see About the app key value store (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/admin-manual/10.2/administer-the-app-key-value-store/about-the-app-key-value-store) and 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.
