In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.1.12, 8.2.9, and 9.0.2, an authenticated user can inject and store arbitrary scripts that can lead to persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) in the object name of a Data Model.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.1.12, 8.2.9, and 9.0.2, an authenticated user can perform an extensible markup language (XML) external entity (XXE) injection via a custom View. The XXE injection causes Splunk Web to embed incorrect documents into an error.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.2.9, 8.1.12, and 9.0.2, sending a malformed file through the Splunk-to-Splunk (S2S) or HTTP Event Collector (HEC) protocols to an indexer results in a blockage or denial-of-service preventing further indexing.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.1.12, 8.2.9, and 9.0.2, Splunk Enterprise fails to properly validate and escape the Host header, which could let a remote authenticated user conduct various attacks against the system, including cross-site scripting and cache poisoning.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.2.9 and 8.1.12, the way that the rex search command handles field names lets an attacker bypass SPL safeguards for risky commands https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/latest/Security/SPLsafeguards . The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the victim by tricking them into initiating a request within their browser. The attacker cannot exploit the vulnerability at will.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.1.12, 8.2.9, and 9.0.2, a remote user who can create search macros and schedule search reports can cause a denial of service through the use of specially crafted search macros.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.2.9, 8.1.12, and 9.0.2, an authenticated user can execute arbitrary code through the dashboard PDF generation component.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.1.12, 8.2.9, and 9.0.2, a remote user that holds the “power” Splunk role can store arbitrary scripts that can lead to persistent cross-site scripting (XSS). The vulnerability affects instances with Splunk Web enabled.
In Splunk Enterprise versions in the following table, an authenticated user can craft a dashboard that could potentially leak information (for example, username, email, and real name) about Splunk users, when visited by another user through the drilldown component. The vulnerability requires user access to create and share dashboards using Splunk Web.
Dashboards in Splunk Enterprise versions before 9.0 might let an attacker inject risky search commands into a form token when the token is used in a query in a cross-origin request. The result bypasses SPL safeguards for risky commands. See New capabilities can limit access to some custom and potentially risky commands (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.0/Security/SPLsafeguards#New_capabilities_can_limit_access_to_some_custom_and_potentially_risky_commands) for more information. Note that the attack is browser-based and an attacker cannot exploit it at will.
