CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedSplunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud Platform versions prior to specified updates are vulnerable to a path traversal issue that allows users with certain permissions to install apps in unintended directories, potentially compromising system integrity. This could lead to unauthorized file writes in critical system locations, posing a significant risk to the security of the environment. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize remediation to prevent exploitation by malicious actors.
Original NVD Description
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.1, 10.2.5, 10.0.8, 9.4.13, and 9.3.14, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.5.2605.0, 10.4.2604.6, 10.2.2510.18, and 10.1.2507.24, a user who holds a role that contains the `edit_local_apps` and `install_apps` capabilities could cause a legitimate app installation to write files outside the intended app directory, into `$SPLUNK_HOME/etc/` and its subdirectories.<br><br>The vulnerability is caused by a path traversal in the app installation workflow, which does not restrict the installation path to the intended app directory.
