Description

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.4.4, 9.3.6, and 9.2.8, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 9.3.2411.111, 9.3.2408.119, and 9.2.2406.122, a low-privileged user that does not hold the admin or power Splunk roles could access sensitive search results if Splunk Enterprise runs an administrative search job in the background. If the low privileged user guesses the search job’s unique Search ID (SID), the user could retrieve the results of that job, potentially exposing sensitive search results.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in certain versions of Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud Platform where a low-privileged user, who does not have admin or power roles, can access sensitive search results if an administrative search job is running in the background. If the user guesses the unique Search ID (SID) of that job, they can retrieve the results, potentially exposing sensitive information.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive search results to low-privileged users. This exposure could result in leakage of confidential or sensitive data, which might compromise the security and privacy of the information managed within Splunk.
