Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2 and 10.2.6 contain a vulnerability where users without admin or power roles can delete SPL2 modules owned by other users via the data management orchestrator interface. This occurs due to broken object-level authorization, as the system does not verify ownership before allowing deletion. Versions below 10.2 are not affected.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-76263 is a moderate severity vulnerability in Splunk Enterprise affecting versions prior to 10.4.2 and 10.2.6. It allows users with limited privileges (not holding admin or power roles) to delete Splunk Processing Language version 2 (SPL2) modules belonging to other users through the data management orchestrator interface. The root cause is broken object-level authorization, where the orchestrator fails to verify that the requesting user owns the target SPL2 modules before deletion. This vulnerability does not impact versions below 10.2.
Potential Impact
An attacker with non-admin, non-power roles can delete SPL2 modules owned by other users, resulting in integrity and availability impacts to those modules. There is no confidentiality impact reported. This could disrupt normal operations relying on those SPL2 modules.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is confirmed, restrict user roles to trusted users only and monitor for unauthorized deletion activity related to SPL2 modules.
