Description

CVE-2026-76391 is a high-severity vulnerability in Splunk AI Toolkit versions 5.7 up to but not including 6.0.0. It allows users without admin or power roles to execute searches with system-level privileges, access all relevant data, and manipulate or delete other users' search jobs via the Agent Run History feature. This occurs because the software improperly replaces the user session key with a system authentication token during search operations, bypassing intended access controls.

Technical Analysis

In Splunk AI Toolkit versions >=5.7 and <6.0.0, an authorization bypass vulnerability exists due to improper privilege management in the Agent Run History handler. The handler replaces the calling user's session key with a system authentication token before performing search operations, enabling users lacking admin or power roles to run searches with elevated system-level privileges. This flaw allows unauthorized access to data, impacts system integrity, and permits reading or deletion of search jobs belonging to other users.

Potential Impact

Attackers without elevated roles can perform searches with system-level privileges, leading to unauthorized data access, potential data manipulation, and deletion of other users' search jobs. This compromises confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system components.

Mitigation Recommendations

A fix is available in Splunk AI Toolkit version 6.0.0 and later. Users should upgrade to version 6.0.0 or above to remediate this vulnerability. No other mitigation guidance is provided in the vendor documentation.
