Technical Analysis
In Splunk Enterprise versions prior to 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.10, and 9.4.15, a flaw in the authorization checks allows users lacking the 'admin' or 'power' roles to create or modify scripted lookup definitions through raw configuration endpoints. The vulnerability arises because raw transforms configuration write paths do not apply external lookup capability checks before saving scripted lookup settings, enabling unauthorized modification of these configurations.
Potential Impact
Attackers with limited privileges can bypass intended access restrictions to create or edit scripted lookup definitions, potentially leading to unauthorized changes in Splunk Enterprise configurations. The CVSS score of 4.3 reflects a medium impact with no confidentiality or availability impact but with integrity impact due to unauthorized modification capabilities.
Mitigation Recommendations
A fix is available in Splunk Enterprise versions 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.10, and 9.4.15. Users should upgrade to these or later versions to remediate the vulnerability. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying the official patches.
