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 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.

In the Splunk App for Lookup File Editing versions below 4.0.1, a user can insert potentially malicious JavaScript code into the app, which causes that code to run on the user’s machine. The app itself does not contain the potentially malicious JavaScript code. The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the victim by tricking them into initiating a request within their browser, and requires additional user interaction to trigger. The attacker cannot exploit the vulnerability at will.

In the Splunk App for Lookup File Editing versions below 4.0.1, a low-privileged user can, with a specially crafted web request, trigger a path traversal exploit that can then be used to read and write to restricted areas of the Splunk installation directory.

In Splunk App for Stream versions below 8.1.1, a low-privileged user could use a vulnerability in the streamfwd process within the Splunk App for Stream to escalate their privileges on the machine that runs the Splunk Enterprise instance, up to and including the root user.

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.1.0.2, 9.0.5.1, and 8.2.11.2, an attacker can inject American National Standards Institute (ANSI) escape codes into Splunk log files that, when a vulnerable terminal application reads them, can potentially, at worst, result in possible code execution in the vulnerable application. This attack requires a user to use a terminal application that supports the translation of ANSI escape codes to read the malicious log file locally in the vulnerable terminal, and to perform additional user interaction to exploit. Universal Forwarder versions 9.1.0.1, 9.0.5, 8.2.11, and lower can be vulnerable in situations where they have management services active and accessible over the network. Universal Forwarder versions 9.0.x and 9.1.x bind management services to the local machine and are not vulnerable in this specific configuration. See SVD-2022-0605 for more information. Universal Forwarder versions 9.1 use Unix Domain Sockets (UDS) for communication, which fur…

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.0.5, 8.2.11, and 8.1.14, a Splunk dashboard view lets a low-privileged user exploit a vulnerability in the Bootstrap web framework (CVE-2019-8331) and build a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) payload.

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, 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 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.
