Summary
In Splunk Enterprise below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, a user with power role could store risky SPL commands in a Table Editor dataset and share it. An admin user triggers the commands when opening the dataset, potentially exposing data and modifying lookup files. The vulnerability is due to missing SPL safeguards for risky commands in the field-summary search.
Risk Assessment
The risk includes unauthorized data access and modification of lookup files, potentially leading to data integrity issues and privilege escalation.
Recommendation
Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to 10.4.2 or later and restrict power role permissions. Educate admins about the risk of opening shared datasets.
Other vulnerabilities in Splunk Enterprise
See all- CVE-2026-76285Critical
Splunk Enterprise versions 10.4.3, 10.2.7, 10.0.10, and 9.4.15 contain a vulnerability related to improper adherence to coding standards. The vulnerability was internally identified and addressed in the mentioned versions.
- CVE-2026-76284Critical
Splunk Enterprise versions 10.4.3, 10.2.7, 10.0.10, and 9.4.15 contain a vulnerability related to improper input neutralization. The vulnerability was internally identified and addressed in the mentioned versions.
- CVE-2026-76268Critical
Vulnerability in Splunk Enterprise before versions 10.4.3 and 10.2.7 allows an unauthenticated user with network access to the Patroni REST API on a search head cluster member to execute attacker-controlled OS commands. The interface does not require authentication for critical configuration operations.
- CVE-2026-76312Critical
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.1, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, an unauthenticated user who can read the Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) source of a page that embeds a Splunk report could use exposed session material to access all relevant data and affect system integrity. The vulnerability is possible because the dispatch archive download path does not correctly enforce the embedded-report authorization boundary and includes sensitive session material in archived search-job data.
- CVE-2026-76311Critical
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, an unauthenticated user who has an embedded report token could download the dispatch archive for an embedded report search job and use exposed session material to access all relevant data and affect system integrity on the Splunk platform instance. The vulnerability is possible because the embedded report authorization flow does not block dispatch archive download requests before Splunk Enterprise begins sending the archive to the requester.
- CVE-2026-76310Critical
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, an unauthenticated user who has an embedded report token could download the associated search job dispatch archive, recover session material, and use it to access all relevant data available to the report owner and affect system integrity, including by performing administrative actions when the owner holds the "admin" Splunk role. The vulnerability is possible because embedded report access does not block Representational State Transfer (REST) API dispatch archive download requests.
- CVE-2026-20253CriticalActively exploited
In Splunk Enterprise 10.2 before 10.2.4 and 10.x before 10.0.7, an unauthenticated user can create or truncate arbitrary files via a PostgreSQL sidecar service endpoint. The endpoint lacks authentication.
- CVE-2026-76283High
Splunk Enterprise versions 10.4.3, 10.2.7, 10.0.10, and 9.4.15 contain a vulnerability related to protection mechanism failure. The vulnerability was internally identified and addressed in the mentioned versions.
- CVE-2026-76282High
Splunk Enterprise versions 10.4.3, 10.2.7, 10.0.10, and 9.4.15 contain a vulnerability related to improper control of a resource through its lifetime. The issue was internally identified and grouped by CWE.
- CVE-2026-76281Medium
Splunk Enterprise versions 10.4.3, 10.2.7, 10.0.10, and 9.4.15 contain an improper access control vulnerability. The issue was internally identified and grouped by CWE.
Original NVD description (English source)
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, a user who holds the "power" Splunk role could store risky Search Processing Language (SPL) commands in a Table Editor dataset and share the dataset. A user who holds the "admin" Splunk role triggers the commands when that user opens the dataset in the Table Editor. The commands run using the permissions of the second user and could expose all relevant data and modify lookup files. The vulnerability is possible because the Table Editor does not apply SPL safeguards for risky commands to the field-summary search that it runs for the Initial Data step. The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the affected user by tricking them into initiating a request within their browser. The user who holds the "power" Splunk role should not be able to exploit the vulnerability at will.
