CVE-2026-76260
MediumCVSS 6.5Summary
In Splunk Enterprise below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, a user with the rest_properties_get capability can read encrypted stored credentials via the REST API. The vulnerability is due to incorrect permission assignment: the properties REST endpoint requires rest_properties_get instead of list_storage_passwords to read stored credentials.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could access sensitive data protected by stored credentials, potentially leading to confidentiality breaches and privilege escalation.
Recommendation
Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to version 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, or 9.4.14 or later. Review and adjust role permissions to ensure only trusted users have access to credentials.
Original NVD description (English source)
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, a user that holds a role with the rest_properties_get capability could read encrypted stored credentials through the Representational State Transfer (REST) API. Successful exploitation can expose relevant data protected by the stored credentials. The incorrect permission assignment is possible because the properties REST endpoint requires the rest_properties_get capability instead of the list_storage_passwords capability to read stored credentials.
