CVE-2026-20203: The software does not restrict or incorrectly restricts access to a resource from an unauthorized actor. in Splunk Splunk Enterprise
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.2, 10.0.5, 9.4.10, and 9.3.11, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.4.2603.0, 10.3.2512.6, 10.2.2510.10, 10.1.2507.19, 10.0.2503.13, and 9.3.2411.127, a low-privileged user that does not hold the `admin` or `power` Splunk roles, has write permission on the app, and does not hold the high-privilege capability `accelerate_datamodel`, could turn on or off Data Model Acceleration due to improper access control.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.2, 10.0.5, 9.4.10, and 9.3.11, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below specified builds. A low-privileged user without admin or power roles and without the accelerate_datamodel capability can improperly toggle Data Model Acceleration because access control restrictions are not correctly enforced. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.3, reflecting a network attack vector with low complexity and low privileges required, causing integrity impact only.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability allows unauthorized modification of Data Model Acceleration settings by low-privileged users, potentially impacting the integrity of data processing configurations. There is no impact on confidentiality or availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since this affects specific versions below certain releases, upgrading to the fixed versions listed by Splunk when available is recommended. Until then, restrict write permissions on apps to trusted users and review role assignments to minimize exposure.
