CVE-2026-76331: The application generates a query intended to access or manipulate data in a data store such as a database, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that can modify the intended logic of the query. in Splunk Splunk Enterprise
CVE-2026-76331 is a high-severity vulnerability in Splunk Enterprise that allows users without admin or power roles to inject Search Processing Language (SPL) into saved-search dispatch requests. This occurs due to improper validation of caller-supplied time values, potentially enabling unauthorized access to data and impacting system integrity. The issue affects specific versions of Splunk Enterprise prior to 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, a vulnerability exists where non-admin and non-power users can inject SPL into saved-search dispatch requests. This is caused by insufficient validation of time parameters supplied by callers, which can be manipulated to alter the logic of queries executed by the system. The vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access and compromise system integrity. The CVSS v3.1 score is 8.1, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring low privileges but no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity.
Potential Impact
Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow unauthorized users with limited privileges to access sensitive data and affect the integrity of the Splunk Enterprise system by injecting malicious SPL queries. This compromises confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or temporary workaround is provided in the available data. Users should monitor Splunk's official advisories for updates and apply patches once available. Until then, restrict access to saved-search dispatch functionality to trusted users only.
