CVE-2025-20379
LowCVSS 3.5Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk22th percentile - higher than 22% of all known CVEs
Summary
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.0.1, 9.4.5, 9.3.7, and 9.2.9 and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 9.3.2411.116, 9.3.2408.124, 10.0.2503.5, and 10.1.2507.1, a low-privileged user without admin or power roles could run a saved search with a risky command using higher-privileged user permissions to bypass SPL safeguards. They could bypass safeguards on the /services/streams/search endpoint via the q parameter by circumventing endpoint restrictions using character encoding in the REST path. The vulnerability requires phishing the victim to initiate a request in their browser.
Risk Assessment
An authenticated low-privileged user could bypass safeguards and execute risky commands with higher privileges, potentially leading to privilege escalation and unauthorized actions. Exploitation requires victim interaction (phishing), limiting ease of use.
Recommendation
Update Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud Platform to fixed versions. Conduct anti-phishing training for users and restrict access to the /services/streams/search endpoint.

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.4, 10.0.7, 9.4.12, and 9.3.13, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.3.2512.13, 10.2.2510.15, 10.1.2507.23, and 9.3.2411.132, a low-privileged user can craft a classic dashboard that exfiltrates sensitive data from the browser of a higher-privileged user who views it. The issue arises from the lack of full validation of style attribute values in classic dashboard panels.
- CVE-2026-20256Medium
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.4, 10.0.7, 9.4.12, and 9.3.13, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.3.2512.13, 10.2.2510.15, 10.1.2507.23, and 9.3.2411.132, a low-privileged user can cause data exfiltration through classic dashboards by redirecting a victim to an external site using a protocol-relative URL in a drill-down link.
- CVE-2026-20255Medium
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.4, 10.0.7, 9.4.12, and 9.3.13, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.3.2512.13, 10.2.2510.15, 10.1.2507.23, and 9.3.2411.132, a low-privileged user can craft a malicious classic dashboard that exfiltrates sensitive data to an external server.
- CVE-2026-20254Medium

- CVE-2026-20252High
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.4, 10.0.7, 9.4.12, and 9.3.13, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.4.2604.3, 10.3.2512.12, 10.2.2510.14, 10.1.2507.22, and 9.3.2411.132, a low-privileged user can send server-side requests to arbitrary internal destinations through the Dashboard Studio PDF export feature. The vulnerability exists due to improper trusted-domain validation and automatic following of HTTP redirects without re-validating each redirect target.
- CVE-2026-20203Medium
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.2, 10.0.5, 9.4.10, and 9.3.11, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below the listed versions, a low-privileged user with app write permission but without admin/power roles and without the accelerate_datamodel capability can turn Data Model Acceleration on or off due to improper access control.

Original NVD description (English source)
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.0.1, 9.4.5, 9.3.7, and 9.2.9 and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 9.3.2411.116, 9.3.2408.124, 10.0.2503.5 and 10.1.2507.1, a low-privileged user that does not hold the “admin“ or “power“ Splunk roles could run a saved search with a risky command using the permissions of a higher-privileged user to bypass the SPL safeguards for risky commands. They could bypass these safeguards on the “/services/streams/search“ endpoint through its “q“ parameter by circumventing endpoint restrictions using character encoding in the REST path. 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.
