Path Traversal in search parameter results in external content injection

In Splunk Enterprise versions before 8.1.2, the uri path to load a relative resource within a web page is vulnerable to path traversal. It allows an attacker to potentially inject arbitrary content into the web page (e.g., HTML Injection, XSS) or bypass SPL safeguards for risky commands. The attack is browser-based. An attacker cannot exploit the attack at will and requires the attacker to initiate a request within the victim's browser (e.g., phishing).

Error message discloses internal path

When handling a mismatched pre-authentication cookie, the application leaks the internal error message in the response, which contains the Splunk Enterprise local system path. The vulnerability impacts Splunk Enterprise versions before 8.1.0.

Local privilege escalation via a default path in Splunk Enterprise Windows

A misconfiguration in the node default path allows for local privilege escalation from a lower privileged user to the Splunk user in Splunk Enterprise versions before 8.1.1 on Windows.

Indexer denial-of-service via malformed S2S request

The lack of validation of a key-value field in the Splunk-to-Splunk protocol results in a denial-of-service in Splunk Enterprise instances configured to index Universal Forwarder traffic. The vulnerability impacts Splunk Enterprise versions before 7.3.9, 8.0 versions before 8.0.9, and 8.1 versions before 8.1.3. It does not impact Universal Forwarders. When Splunk forwarding is secured using TLS or a Token, the attack requires compromising the certificate or token, or both. Implementation of either or both reduces the severity to Medium.

Username enumeration through lockout message in REST API

The Splunk Enterprise REST API allows enumeration of usernames via the lockout error message. The potential vulnerability impacts Splunk Enterprise instances before 8.1.7 when configured to repress verbose login errors.

S2S TcpToken authentication bypass

A crafted request bypasses S2S TCP Token authentication writing arbitrary events to an index in Splunk Enterprise Indexer 8.1 versions before 8.1.5 and 8.2 versions before 8.2.1. The vulnerability impacts Indexers configured to use TCPTokens. It does not impact Universal Forwarders.

Bypass of Splunk Enterprise's implementation of DUO MFA

A potential vulnerability in Splunk Enterprise's implementation of DUO MFA allows for bypassing the MFA verification in Splunk Enterprise versions before 8.1.6. The potential vulnerability impacts Splunk Enterprise instances configured to use DUO MFA and does not impact or affect a DUO product or service.

Splunk Web in Splunk Enterprise 6.5.x before 6.5.5, 6.4.x before 6.4.9, 6.3.x before 6.3.12, 6.2.x before 6.2.14, 6.1.x before 6.1.14, and 6.0.x before 6.0.15 and Splunk Light before 6.6.0 has Persistent XSS, aka SPL-138827.

Splunk Enterprise 6.2.x before 6.2.14, 6.3.x before 6.3.10, 6.4.x before 6.4.7, and 6.5.x before 6.5.3; and Splunk Light before 6.6.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted HTTP request.

Directory traversal vulnerability in the Splunk Django App in Splunk Enterprise 6.0.x before 6.0.14, 6.1.x before 6.1.13, 6.2.x before 6.2.14, 6.3.x before 6.3.10, 6.4.x before 6.4.6, and 6.5.x before 6.5.3; and Splunk Light before 6.6.0 allows remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via unspecified vectors.

Splunkd in Splunk Enterprise 6.2.x before 6.2.14 6.3.x before 6.3.11, and 6.4.x before 6.4.8; and Splunk Light before 6.5.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed HTTP request.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Splunk Web in Splunk Enterprise 6.0.x before 6.0.14, 6.1.x before 6.1.13, 6.2.x before 6.2.14, 6.3.x before 6.3.10, 6.4.x before 6.4.7, and 6.5.x before 6.5.3; and Splunk Light before 6.6.0 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.

Splunk through 7.0.1 allows information disclosure by appending __raw/services/server/info/server-info?output_mode=json to a query, as demonstrated by discovering a license key.

Splunk Enterprise 6.6.x, when configured to run as root but drop privileges to a specific non-root account, allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to that non-root account to modify $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/splunk-launch.conf and insert Trojan horse programs into $SPLUNK_HOME/bin, because the non-root setup instructions state that chown should be run across all of $SPLUNK_HOME to give non-root access.

Splunk 5.0.3 has an Unquoted Service Path in Windows for Universal Forwarder which can allow an attacker to escalate privileges

Splunk before 5.0.4 lacks X-Frame-Options which can allow Clickjacking
