Low risk9th percentile — higher than 9% of all known CVEs
Summary
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.4, 10.0.7, 9.4.12, and 9.3.13, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.3.2512.13, 10.2.2510.15, 10.1.2507.23, and 9.3.2411.132, a low-privileged user can craft a classic dashboard that exfiltrates sensitive data from the browser of a higher-privileged user who views it. The issue arises from the lack of full validation of style attribute values in classic dashboard panels.
Risk Assessment
The organization may be at risk of sensitive data leakage if higher-privileged users visit malicious dashboards created by low-privileged users. However, this requires tricking the victim into initiating a request within their browser.
Recommendation
It is recommended to upgrade to the latest versions of Splunk that address this vulnerability. Additionally, implementing further security controls to limit the ability of low-privileged users to create malicious dashboards is advisable.
Original NVD description (English source)
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.4, 10.0.7, 9.4.12, and 9.3.13, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.3.2512.13, 10.2.2510.15, 10.1.2507.23, and 9.3.2411.132, a low-privileged user that does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could craft a classic dashboard that exfiltrates sensitive data from the browser of a higher-privileged user who views it. The exfiltration is possible because classic dashboard panels do not fully validate style attribute values, which can allow for requests to reach external domains outside the configured Trusted Domains List. The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the victim by tricking them into initiating a request within their browser. The low-privileged user should not be able to exploit the vulnerability at will.
