AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L
Network endpoint with no account needed since embed tokens are meant to be externally embedded (PR:N, AC:L); archive exposes data and session material enabling data read and integrity change (C:H/I:H) with limited availability impact (A:L).

3DescriptionCVE.org
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, an unauthenticated user who has an embedded report token could download the dispatch archive for an embedded report search job and use exposed session material to access all relevant data and affect system integrity on the Splunk platform instance. The vulnerability is possible because the embedded report authorization flow does not block dispatch archive download requests before Splunk Enterprise begins sending the archive to the requester. For more information see Additional configuration for embedded reports (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/create-dashboards-and-reports/reporting-manual/10.4/report-management/additional-configuration-for-embedded-reports) and Embed scheduled reports (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/create-dashboards-and-reports/reporting-manual/10.4/report-management/embed-scheduled-reports) in the Splunk documentation.
AnalysisAI
Improper access control in Splunk Enterprise (versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14) allows a party holding only an embedded report token to download the dispatch archive of an embedded report's search job, exposing session material that grants access to sensitive data and the ability to affect platform integrity. The embedded-report authorization flow fails to block dispatch-archive download requests before the archive begins streaming, so the check is effectively bypassed (CWE-284). …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires possession of a valid embedded report token for a report whose 'embed' feature is enabled on the Splunk Enterprise instance; embedded/scheduled reports must be configured and in use. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L (base 9.4) indicates remote, low-complexity exploitation with no privileges or user interaction, high confidentiality and integrity impact, and low availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who obtains an embedded report token - for example by scraping it from a public web page or intranet portal where a Splunk report is embedded - issues a request to download the dispatch archive for that report's search job. Because Splunk streams the archive before completing the authorization check, the attacker retrieves the archive, extracts session material, and reuses it to read data and tamper with integrity on the Splunk platform instance. … |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade Splunk Enterprise to 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, or 9.4.14 (or later) on the corresponding maintenance branch, per Splunk advisory SVD-2026-0801 (https://advisory.splunk.com/advisories/SVD-2026-0801). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
