Exploitation Conditions

Any valid Splunk user account is sufficient - the 'admin' or 'power' role is explicitly NOT required, meaning standard analyst, read-only, or developer accounts are all viable. The Data Orchestration feature must be in use on the target Splunk Enterprise instance (it is not enabled by default in all deployments - organizations not using Data Orchestration jobs may have reduced exposure). The vulnerable endpoint must be reachable over the network (CVSS AV:N), which in enterprise deployments typically means the Splunk web interface is accessible. What limits exploitation: requires a valid Splunk authentication credential (PR:L - unauthenticated external exploitation is not possible); scoped to Splunk Enterprise only (not confirmed for other Splunk products); restricted to affected version branches.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N accurately reflects network-accessible exploitation requiring only low-privilege Splunk authentication, with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact. The 6.5 base score understates operational risk in several ways: first, low-privilege Splunk accounts are broadly distributed in enterprise deployments (analysts, developers, read-only consumers), making the attacker population large; second, the exposed data includes stored connection credentials, which can serve as a pivot to downstream systems not directly affected by this CVE. No EPSS score was provided in the intelligence data. No CISA KEV listing is present, and no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis - however, CWE-89 is a well-understood class with trivially constructable payloads once the injection point is located. The absence of a POC does not provide significant protection given the simplicity of the exploitation class. Priority should be elevated relative to CVSS score alone due to the credential theft impact pathway.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with any valid low-privilege Splunk user account sends a crafted HTTP request to the Data Orchestration jobs endpoint, embedding SQL injection payloads within job filter parameters (for example, a UNION-based injection to retrieve all rows from the jobs table). The application concatenates the unsanitized input into a live SQL query, returning job records belonging to other users and stored database connection credentials. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but CWE-89 exploitation is well-documented and the technique is straightforward to implement once the vulnerable parameter is identified.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026

SQL injection in Splunk Enterprise's Data Orchestration jobs endpoint allows any authenticated low-privilege user - explicitly excluding the need for 'admin' or 'power' roles - to execute arbitrary SQL against the underlying Data Orchestration database, exposing all job records across all users and stored connection credentials. Affected version branches are 10.4.x below 10.4.2, 10.2.x below 10.2.6, 10.0.x below 10.0.9, and 9.4.x below 9.4.14. Reported by Cisco; no KEV listing or public exploit code identified at time of analysis, though the credential exposure component significantly elevates real-world impact beyond the moderate 6.5 CVSS score suggests.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to one of the patched releases confirmed by the vendor: 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, or 9.4.14 per advisory SVD-2026-0801 at https://advisory.splunk.com/advisories/SVD-2026-0801. If immediate patching is not feasible, restrict network access to the Data Orchestration jobs endpoint at the perimeter or host firewall layer, limiting it to known administrative IP ranges or VPN-connected users only - this reduces exposure but does not eliminate it, since the vulnerability requires only low-privilege Splunk authentication which many users possess. Independently of patching, audit and rotate all connection credentials stored within Data Orchestration, as exposure of those credentials on unpatched systems cannot be ruled out and could enable lateral movement to connected data sources.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-89 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command) in Splunk Enterprise's Data Orchestration subsystem. The jobs endpoint accepts user-supplied filter parameters and concatenates them directly into SQL database queries without using parameterized statements or prepared queries - a foundational secure coding failure. This bypasses Splunk's role-based access control model, which is designed to gate Data Orchestration access to admin and power users per the documented role configuration at help.splunk.com. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:splunk:splunk_enterprise across multiple version branches, meaning the flaw spans multiple maintained release lines simultaneously, indicating the vulnerable code path was present in a shared component across branches.

DescriptionCVE.org

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could execute attacker-chosen Structured Query Language (SQL) queries through the Data Orchestration jobs endpoint, allowing for access to substantially all data stored by Data Orchestration, including jobs owned by other users and stored connection credentials. The vulnerability is possible because Data Orchestration builds a database query from user-controlled job filter values without using parameterized queries. 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.
