CVE-2026-76343

Structured Query Language (SQL) Injection through the REST API in Splunk Enterprise

Published Aug 19, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.5 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could execute attacker-chosen Structured Query Language (SQL) queries through the Data Orchestration jobs endpoint, allowing for access to substantially all data stored by Data Orchestration, including jobs owned by other users and stored connection credentials. The vulnerability is possible because Data Orchestration builds a database query from user-controlled job filter values without using parameterized queries. For more information see About configuring role-based user access (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/manage-users-and-security/10.2/manage-splunk-platform-users-and-roles/about-configuring-role-based-user-access) in the Splunk documentation.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to versions 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, or higher.


Vendor Workaround

Turn off the PostgreSQL sidecar service by setting disabled = true in the [postgres] stanza in the server.conf configuration file if you do not use Edge Processor, OpAmp, or Search Processing Language 2 (SPL2) data pipelines. For more information see [Sidecar configuration settings](https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/admin-manual/10.4/splunk-sidecars/sidecar-configuration-settings) in the Splunk documentation. Note: Turning off the PostgreSQL sidecar service breaks these features and can affect dependent sidecar processes.
