CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedIn Splunk Enterprise versions prior to 10.4.2 and 10.2.6, users lacking "admin" or "power" roles can exploit insufficient authorization in the SPL2 module management REST API to delete all SPL2 modules across the instance. This vulnerability can lead to the deletion of critical datasets and functions, compromising system integrity and potentially causing service disruptions. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of unauthorized data loss and operational impact.
Original NVD Description
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2 and 10.2.6, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could delete all Search Processing Language 2 (SPL2) modules across all apps and users on the instance through the SPL2 module management Representational State Transfer (REST) API. This could delete exported datasets and functions, affect system integrity, and cause partial service disruption. The vulnerability does not affect Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2. The vulnerability is possible because the SPL2 module management REST API does not sufficiently authorize and validate module deletion requests. For more information see Manage SPL2 modules (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/search/spl2-search-manual/multiple-searches-in-an-spl2-module/manage-spl2-modules) and Module permissions (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/search/spl2-search-manual/modules-statements-and-views/module-permissions) in the Splunk documentation.
