Description
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.2.1, 9.1.4, and 9.0.9 and Splunk Cloud
Platform versions below 9.1.2312.100, the Dashboard Examples Hub in the Splunk
Dashboard Studio app lacks protections for risky SPL commands. This could let
attackers bypass SPL safeguards for risky commands with the permissions of a
highly-privileged user in the Hub. The vulnerability would require the attacker
to phish the victim by tricking them into initiating a request within their
browser.
For more information on risky commands and potential impacts, see SPL
safeguards for risky commands .
Solution
For Splunk Enterprise, upgrade versions to 9.2.1, 9.1.4, 9.0.9, or higher.
For Splunk Cloud Platform, Splunk is actively patching and monitoring the
Splunk Cloud instances.
