CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedIn Splunk Enterprise versions prior to 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, users with the rest_properties_get capability can exploit a permissions misconfiguration to access encrypted stored credentials via the REST API. This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized exposure of sensitive data protected by these credentials. Organizations using affected Splunk versions, particularly those managing sensitive information, should prioritize applying the necessary updates to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, a user that holds a role with the rest_properties_get capability could read encrypted stored credentials through the Representational State Transfer (REST) API. Successful exploitation can expose relevant data protected by the stored credentials. The incorrect permission assignment is possible because the properties REST endpoint requires the rest_properties_get capability instead of the list_storage_passwords capability to read stored credentials. For more information see Define roles on the Splunk platform with capabilities (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/manage-users-and-security/10.4/manage-splunk-platform-users-and-roles/define-roles-on-the-splunk-platform-with-capabilities) in the Splunk documentation.
