CVE-2026-76399: The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors. in Splunk Splunk AI Toolkit
CVE-2026-76399 is a high-severity vulnerability in Splunk AI Toolkit version 6.0. A user with the "power" Splunk role can modify scheduled searches provided by the app to run arbitrary Search Processing Language (SPL) queries using the permissions of the search owner. This allows unauthorized access to sensitive data and can impact system integrity.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
In Splunk AI Toolkit versions below 6.0.1, the product grants the "power" Splunk role permission to modify app-provided scheduled searches. These scheduled searches run with the permissions of the search owner. Because of this, a user with the "power" role can alter these scheduled searches to execute arbitrary SPL commands, potentially accessing all relevant data and compromising system integrity. The vulnerability arises from the way permissions are specified for this security-critical resource.
Potential Impact
An attacker with the "power" Splunk role can execute arbitrary SPL queries with the permissions of the search owner, leading to unauthorized data access and potential compromise of system integrity. There is no indication of availability impact. The CVSS score of 8.1 reflects high confidentiality and integrity impact with network attack vector and low attack complexity.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since the vulnerability affects versions below 6.0.1, upgrading to version 6.0.1 or later is likely the intended fix. Until an official fix is confirmed, restrict assignment of the "power" role to trusted users only to limit exposure.
