Description

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.3, 10.2.7, and 10.0.10, a low-privileged user that does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could retrieve original source code for the Discover Splunk Observability Cloud app through Splunk Web. The vulnerability is possible because production JavaScript bundles for the app contain embedded source maps that include original source code. For more information see About configuring role-based user access (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/manage-users-and-security/10.4/manage-splunk-platform-users-and-roles/about-configuring-role-based-user-access), Splunk Observability Cloud previews (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/search/search-manual/10.4/observability/splunk-observability-cloud-previews), and Navigating Splunk Web (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/search/search-tutorial/10.4/part-1-getting-started/navigating-splunk-web) in the Splunk documentation. Splunk Enterprise versions 9.4.x are not affected.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability affects Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.3, 10.2.7, and 10.0.10. A low-privileged user without admin or power roles could access original source code for the Discover Splunk Observability Cloud app via Splunk Web. This occurs because production JavaScript bundles contain embedded source maps with the original source code.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check if your Splunk Enterprise version is below 10.4.3, 10.2.7, or 10.0.10. Splunk Enterprise versions 9.4.x are not affected. Verify if the Discover Splunk Observability Cloud app is installed and if low-privileged users can access original source code through Splunk Web.

Impact Analysis

The impact is limited to information disclosure. An attacker could view the original source code of the app, potentially exposing sensitive logic or configurations. However, no direct code execution or data modification is possible.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could potentially impact compliance with GDPR or HIPAA if the exposed source code contains sensitive data or personal information. Unauthorized access to source code may lead to violations of data protection requirements under these regulations.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to version 10.4.3, 10.2.7, or 10.0.10 or later. Remove or restrict access to the Discover Splunk Observability Cloud app for non-admin users. Review and update role-based user access permissions to prevent unauthorized access to source code.
