CVE-2026-76264

Improper Authorization through the REST API in Splunk Enterprise

Published Oct 7, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 4.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.10, and 9.4.15, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could create or edit scripted lookup definitions through raw configuration endpoints. The vulnerability is possible because raw transforms configuration write paths do not apply external lookup capability checks before saving scripted lookup settings.
