Splunk Enterprise Privilege Escalation
2026-03-11
Arbitrary shell command execution in Splunk Enterprise and Cloud Platform allows authenticated users with the edit_cmd capability to inject commands through the unarchive_cmd parameter in the preview upload endpoint. Affected versions include Splunk Enterprise below 10.2.0, 10.0.4, 9.4.9, and 9.3.10, as well as corresponding Cloud Platform versions. An attacker with high-privilege roles could achieve remote code execution on vulnerable systems, though no patch is currently available.
Splunk Enterprise and Cloud Platform versions below specified thresholds fail to properly restrict access to the passwords configuration API endpoint, allowing low-privileged users without admin or power roles to retrieve hashed or plaintext credential values from passwords.conf. This information disclosure vulnerability could enable attackers to obtain sensitive authentication credentials for further system compromise. No patch is currently available.
web-based project management software. versions up to 17.2.0 is affected by cross-site scripting (xss) (CVSS 6.5).
Stored XSS via path traversal in Splunk Enterprise and Cloud Platform allows low-privileged users to inject malicious JavaScript into Views, compromising any user who visits the affected page. An attacker must socially engineer a victim into initiating the malicious request, but no special privileges or user interaction beyond initial page load is required. Affected versions include Splunk Enterprise below 10.2.0, 10.0.3, 9.4.9, and 9.3.9, with no patch currently available.
Improper access control in Splunk Enterprise and Cloud Platform versions below specified thresholds allows low-privileged users without admin or power roles to extract sensitive information from job search logs through the MongoClient logging channel. Affected versions include Enterprise 10.2.1, 10.0.4, 9.4.9, and 9.3.10, as well as corresponding Cloud Platform releases. No patch is currently available for this medium-severity vulnerability.
Improper access control in the Discover Splunk Observability Cloud app allows low-privileged users without admin or power roles to retrieve Observability Cloud API access tokens in Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.1/10.0.4 and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.2.2510.5/10.1.2507.16/10.0.2503.12. An attacker with low-level credentials could leverage this to obtain API tokens for unauthorized access to Observability Cloud resources. No patch is currently available.
