Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Splunk
Product: Splunk Enterprise

Description

CVE-2026-76328 affects Splunk Enterprise versions prior to 10.4.1, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14. It allows a user with the "power" Splunk role to store malicious Search Processing Language (SPL) code in a dashboard. When another authenticated user exports this dashboard as a PDF, the injected SPL executes with the exporting user's permissions, potentially accessing or modifying their data. The vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of dashboard content during PDF export. Exploitation requires phishing the affected user to trigger the export action. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.7, indicating medium severity.

Technical Analysis

In affected Splunk Enterprise versions, a user with the "power" role can inject attacker-controlled SPL into dashboards. When another authenticated user exports the dashboard to PDF, the SPL executes with that user's permissions due to inadequate validation of dashboard content by Splunk Web. This can lead to unauthorized data access or modification. Exploitation requires social engineering to induce the victim to export the dashboard. The vulnerability is fixed in versions 10.4.1, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14.

Potential Impact

An attacker with the "power" role can embed malicious SPL in dashboards that execute under the permissions of other authenticated users during PDF export. This can result in unauthorized access or modification of data accessible to the victim user. The attack requires user interaction via phishing to trigger the export. The vulnerability does not allow the attacker to exploit it at will without victim interaction.

Mitigation Recommendations

Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to version 10.4.1, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, or 9.4.14 or later, where this vulnerability is fixed. Until patched, restrict the "power" role to trusted users only and educate users to avoid phishing attempts that could trigger malicious dashboard exports. No other vendor advisory mitigation is provided.
