CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedSplunk Enterprise versions prior to 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14 are vulnerable to an injection flaw that allows unauthenticated users to execute arbitrary Search Processing Language (SPL) queries, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive search results. This issue arises from inadequate input sanitization in the handling of SPL for nearby-event searches, as well as a lack of proper authorization checks for embedded report access. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize remediation to mitigate the risk of unauthorized data exposure.
Original NVD Description
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, an unauthenticated user could inject arbitrary Search Processing Language (SPL) into requests that search for events near a selected event. This could allow for unauthorized search execution. The vulnerability is possible because Splunk Web does not consistently escape caller-supplied values when it builds SPL for nearby-event searches, and embedded report access accepts those requests without the expected authorization check. For more information see Use time to find nearby events (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/search/search-manual/10.2/specify-time-ranges/use-time-to-find-nearby-events) in the Splunk documentation.
