CVE-2026-76348
LowCVSS 3.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk14th percentile - higher than 14% of all known CVEs
Summary
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, a user who holds a Splunk role that contains the high-privilege list_search_head_clustering capability could send a read request to Search Head Cluster member control endpoints and change cluster state, which could allow for a denial of service. The vulnerability is possible because the Search Head Cluster member control endpoints do not require a state-changing Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request type before they apply read-only authorization.
Risk Assessment
Ability to change cluster state by an unauthorized user could lead to service disruption, impacting system availability.
Recommendation
Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to one of the patched versions listed. Restrict the list_search_head_clustering capability.
