Splunk

Unauthorized data disclosure in Splunk AI Toolkit versions below 5.7.3 allows authenticated low-privileged users to bypass srchFilter-based access controls and read confidential data scoped to more restricted custom roles. The flaw stems from the Splunk platform's behavior of combining inherited search filters via the OR SPL operator, causing the permissive filter injected by the AI Toolkit's authorize.conf to override stricter filters on child roles. No active exploitation confirmed (not in CISA KEV) and no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the CVSS confidentiality impact is rated High, making this a meaningful data exposure risk in multi-tenant or compliance-sensitive Splunk deployments.

Sensitive information disclosure in Splunk Enterprise (below 10.2.2 and 10.0.5) and Splunk Cloud Platform (multiple branches below 10.3.2512.8, 10.2.2510.11, 10.1.2507.21, and 10.0.2503.13) allows authenticated users with a role granting access to the `_internal` index to view session cookies and response bodies containing sensitive data logged by the platform. Cisco-reported and patched by Splunk in advisory SVD-2026-0503, the issue is a CWE-532 sensitive-data-in-logs flaw rather than a remote code execution bug, with no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

Denial of Service in Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud Platform allows a low-privileged authenticated user to render the entire instance non-functional by exploiting missing input validation in the `coldToFrozen.sh` script bundled with the `splunk_archiver` app. The script accepts arbitrary file paths and renames them without restricting operations to safe directories, enabling renaming of critical Splunk system directories. No public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, but the low privilege requirement (PR:L per CVSS) makes this actionable for any authenticated non-admin user in multi-tenant or enterprise deployments. A vendor patch is available via advisory SVD-2026-0504.

Path traversal in the CSV Export endpoint of ghantakiran's splunk-mcp-integration allows remote unauthenticated attackers to access arbitrary files on the server by manipulating the job_name parameter in the create_csv_export function. The vulnerability affects all versions up to commit 0b86b09d5e5adf0433acd43c975951224613a1a6, with publicly available exploit code disclosed via GitHub issue; no vendor patch has been released despite early notification.

Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud Platform deployments expose SAML authentication configurations in plaintext logs accessible to users with Search Head Cluster administrative roles and _internal index access, allowing credential and authentication extension disclosure. Affected versions include Splunk Enterprise below 10.2.0, 10.0.2, 9.4.7, 9.3.8, and 9.2.11, as well as Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.2.2510.0, 10.1.2507.11, 10.0.2503.9, and 9.3.2411.120. No patch is currently available for this medium-severity vulnerability.

Splunk Enterprise versions before 10.2.0, 10.0.2, 9.4.7, 9.3.9, and 9.2.11 expose RSA access keys in plain text within the Authentication.conf file to users with access to the _internal index on Search Head Cluster deployments. A privileged user with appropriate role permissions could read these sensitive credentials, compromising authentication security. No patch is currently available for this medium-severity vulnerability.

Improper access control in Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.3.9, 9.4.8, and 10.0.2 allows low-privileged users without admin roles to access the Monitoring Console App endpoints, enabling unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information. The vulnerability affects only on-premises Splunk Enterprise deployments and does not impact Splunk Cloud Platform instances. No patch is currently available.

Client-side denial-of-service in Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud Platform allows low-privileged users to inject malicious payloads through user profile parameters in the authentication REST API endpoint, causing significant page load delays or temporary unresponsiveness of the Splunk Web interface. Affected versions include Splunk Enterprise below 10.2.0, 10.0.2, 9.4.8, 9.3.9, and 9.2.12, and Splunk Cloud Platform below 10.2.2510.3, 10.1.2507.8, 10.0.2503.9, and 9.3.2411.121. No patch is currently available for this vulnerability.

Splunk Search Head Cluster deployments below versions 10.2.0, 10.0.2, 9.4.7, 9.3.9, and 9.2.11 expose Duo Two-Factor Authentication secrets (integrationKey, secretKey, appSecretKey) in plain text to users with access to the _internal index and appropriate roles. An authenticated attacker with these privileges could retrieve sensitive credentials and compromise Duo authentication controls for the Splunk environment. No patch is currently available for this vulnerability.

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.0.2, 9.4.6, 9.3.8, and 9.2.10, and versions below 3.9.10, 3.8.58 and 3.7.28 of the Splunk Secure Gateway app on Splunk Cloud Platform, a low-privileged user that does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could craft a malicious payload through the `label` column field after adding a new device in the Splunk Secure Gateway app. This could potentially lead to a client-side denial of service (DoS).

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.0.1, 9.4.6, 9.3.8, and 9.2.10, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.1.2507.4, 10.0.2503.7, and 9.3.2411.116, a user who holds a role that contains the high privilege capability `change_authentication` could enumerate internal IP addresses and network ports when adding new search peers to a Splunk search head in a distributed environment.

In Splunk Universal Forwarder for Windows versions below 10.0.2, 9.4.6, 9.3.8, and 9.2.10, a new installation of or an upgrade to an affected version can result in incorrect permissions assignment in the Universal Forwarder for Windows Installation directory. This lets non-administrator users on the machine access the directory and all its contents.

In Splunk Enterprise for Windows versions below 10.0.2, 9.4.6, 9.3.8, and 9.2.10, a new installation of or an upgrade to an affected version can result in incorrect permissions assignment in the Splunk Enterprise for Windows Installation directory. This lets non-administrator users on the machine access the directory and all its contents.

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.0.2, 9.4.6, 9.3.8, and 9.2.10, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.1.2507.6, 10.0.2503.7, and 9.3.2411.117, a user who holds a role with a high privilege capability `admin_all_objects` could craft a malicious payload through the href attribute of an anchor tag within a collection in the navigation bar, which could result in execution of unauthorized JavaScript code in the browser of a user.

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.0.2, 9.4.6, 9.3.8, and 9.2.10, and below 3.9.10, 3.8.58, and 3.7.28 of Splunk Secure Gateway app in Splunk Cloud Platform, a low-privileged user that does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles and subscribes to mobile push notifications could receive notifications that disclose the title and description of the report or alert even if they do not have access to view the report or alert.

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.0.2, 9.4.6, 9.3.8, and 9.2.10, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.1.2507.10, 10.0.2503.8, and 9.3.2411.120, a low-privileged user that does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could create a views dashboard with a custom background using the `data:image/png;base64` protocol that could potentially lead to an unvalidated redirect. This behavior circumvents the Splunk external URL warning mechanism by using a specially crafted URL, allowing for a redirection to an external malicious site. The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the victim by tricking them into initiating a request within their browser. The authenticated user should not be able to exploit the vulnerability at will.
