They can bypass the safeguards by exploiting a path traversal vulnerability.
CVE-2025-20388 is a low-severity vulnerability in Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud Platform versions prior to specified patched releases. It allows users with the high-privilege capability 'change_authentication' to enumerate internal IP addresses and network ports by adding new search peers in a distributed Splunk environment. The vulnerability arises because the web server does not sufficiently verify that URL requests from upstream components target expected destinations. Exploitation requires authenticated access with elevated privileges but does not require user interaction. Although the confidentiality impact is limited to internal network information disclosure, this could aid attackers in further reconnaissance. No known exploits are reported in the wild. European organizations using affected Splunk versions in distributed deployments should prioritize patching and restrict high-privilege roles to trusted administrators. Countries with significant Splunk Enterprise adoption and critical infrastructure monitoring, such as Germany, the UK, France, and the Netherlands, are most likely to be affected.

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.0.2, 9.4.6, 9.3.8, and 9.2.10, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.1.2507.6, 10.0.2503.7, and 9.3.2411.117, a user who holds a role with a high privilege capability `admin_all_objects` could craft a malicious payload through the href attribute of an anchor tag within a collection in the navigation bar, which could result in execution of unauthorized JavaScript code in the browser of a user.
In Splunk MCP Server app versions below 0.2.4, a user with access to the "run_splunk_query" Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool could bypass the SPL command allowlist controls in MCP by embedding SPL commands as sub-searches, leading to unauthorized actions beyond the intended MCP restrictions.
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.0.2, 9.4.6, 9.3.8, and 9.2.10, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.1.2507.10, 10.0.2503.8, and 9.3.2411.120, a low-privileged user that does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could create a views dashboard with a custom background using the `data:image/png;base64` protocol that could potentially lead to an unvalidated redirect. This behavior circumvents the Splunk external URL warning mechanism by using a specially crafted URL, allowing for a redirection to an external malicious site. The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the victim by tricking them into initiating a request within their browser. The authenticated user should not be able to exploit the vulnerability at will.
CVE-2025-20373 is a low-severity vulnerability in Splunk Add-on for Palo Alto Networks versions below 2.0.2 where client secrets are logged in plaintext within the internal index. Exploitation requires either local access to log files or administrative privileges to internal indexes, which are typically restricted to admin roles. This exposure could allow attackers with such access to obtain sensitive credentials, aiding further attacks or lateral movement. The vulnerability does not impact integrity or availability and requires high privileges, limiting its exploitability. European organizations using affected Splunk add-on versions should review and restrict internal index access and upgrade to patched versions. Countries with significant Splunk and Palo Alto Networks deployments and critical infrastructure monitoring are most at risk. Mitigation involves strict role-based access control, auditing internal index access, and applying updates promptly. The CVSS score of 2.
