Summary

In Splunk Add-on for Palo Alto Networks versions below 2.0.2, the add-on exposes client secrets in plain text in the _internal index during the addition of new “Data Security Accounts”. The vulnerability requires either local access to log files or administrative access to internal indexes, which by default only the admin role receives.

Risk Assessment

A person with access to logs or internal indexes could obtain client secrets, potentially leading to unauthorized access to protected resources. The risk is limited but could result in privilege escalation if an administrative account is compromised.

Recommendation

Update the Splunk Add-on for Palo Alto Networks to version 2.0.2 or later. Review roles and capabilities on your Splunk instance and restrict internal index access to administrator-level roles only.
