In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.0.5, 8.2.11, and 8.1.14, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 9.0.2303.100, a low-privileged user can trigger an HTTP response splitting vulnerability with the ‘rest’ SPL command that lets them potentially access other REST endpoints in the system arbitrarily.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.0.5, 8.2.11. and 8.1.14, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 9.0.2303.100, a low-privileged user who holds the ‘user’ role can see the hashed version of the initial user name and password for the Splunk instance by using the ‘rest’ SPL command against the ‘conf-user-seed’ REST endpoint.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.0.5, 8.2.11, and 8.1.14, and in Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 9.0.2303.100, a low-privileged user can perform an unauthorized transfer of data from a search using the ‘copyresults’ command if they know the search ID (SID) of a search job that has recently run.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.0.5, 8.2.11, and 8.1.14, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 9.0.2303.100, an attacker can exploit a vulnerability in the {{dump}} SPL command to cause a denial of service by crashing the Splunk daemon.
On Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.0.5, 8.2.11, and 8.1.14, and in Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 9.0.2303.100, an unauthorized user can access the {{/services/indexing/preview}} REST endpoint to overwrite search results if they know the search ID (SID) of an existing search job.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.1.13 and 8.2.10, the ‘createrss’ external search command overwrites existing Resource Description Format Site Summary (RSS) feeds without verifying permissions. This feature has been deprecated and disabled by default.
In Splunk Enterprise 9.0 versions before 9.0.4, a View allows for Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) through the error message in a Base64-encoded image. The vulnerability affects instances with Splunk Web enabled. It does not affect Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.0.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.1.13, 8.2.10, and 9.0.4, a View allows for Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in an extensible mark-up language (XML) View through the ‘layoutPanel’ attribute in the ‘module’ tag’.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.1.13, 8.2.10, and 9.0.4, the ‘pivot’ search processing language (SPL) command lets a search bypass SPL safeguards for risky commands using a saved search job. The vulnerability requires an authenticated user to craft the saved job and a higher privileged user to initiate a request within their browser.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.1.13, 8.2.10, and 9.0.4, the ‘display.page.search.patterns.sensitivity’ search parameter lets a search bypass SPL safeguards for risky commands. The vulnerability requires a higher privileged user to initiate a request within their browser and only affects instances with Splunk Web enabled.
