Description

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, a user who holds the "power" Splunk role could store a malicious script in dashboard sparkline format options and execute unauthorized JavaScript in the browser of another user who views the dashboard. If the other user holds the "admin" Splunk role, the script could access all relevant data available through Splunk Web and perform actions with that user's permissions. The vulnerability is possible because Splunk Web does not limit the permitted dashboard visualization options to safe presentation settings and does not escape tooltip values before rendering them. The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the affected user by tricking them into initiating a request within their browser. The user who holds the "power" Splunk role should not be able to exploit the vulnerability at will.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability affects Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14. A user with the 'power' role can store a malicious script in dashboard sparkline format options. When another user views the dashboard, the script executes unauthorized JavaScript in their browser. The issue occurs because Splunk Web does not restrict dashboard visualization options to safe settings and fails to escape tooltip values before rendering them.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute JavaScript in the browser of another user viewing a dashboard. If the affected user has the 'admin' role, the script could access all data available through Splunk Web and perform actions with admin permissions. The attacker must trick the user into initiating a request within their browser.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to versions 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, or 9.4.14 or later to address the vulnerability.
