Description

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could create or modify a scripted lookup through generic configuration endpoints and run an installed lookup script with the permissions of the user account running Splunk Enterprise, which could allow for access to all relevant data and affect system integrity and availability. The vulnerability is possible because the generic transforms configuration endpoints do not enforce the capabilities required to create or edit external lookup definitions. For more information see Define roles on the Splunk platform with capabilities (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/manage-users-and-security/10.2/manage-splunk-platform-users-and-roles/define-roles-on-the-splunk-platform-with-capabilities) and limits.conf (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/admin-manual/10.4/configuration-file-reference/10.4.2-configuration-file-reference/limits.conf) in the Splunk documentation.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability affects Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14. A non-admin user could create or modify a scripted lookup via generic configuration endpoints and execute the lookup script with the permissions of the Splunk Enterprise user account. This could grant access to all relevant data and impact system integrity and availability.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, check Splunk Enterprise versions for those below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, or 9.4.14. Review user roles and permissions to ensure non-admin/power users cannot create or modify scripted lookups. Inspect generic configuration endpoints for unauthorized scripted lookup modifications.

Impact Analysis

An attacker with limited access could escalate privileges to access sensitive data, modify system configurations, or disrupt services. This could lead to data breaches, unauthorized access, or service outages depending on the attacker's goals.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data access or disclosure, violating GDPR's data protection requirements or HIPAA's safeguards for protected health information. Non-compliance risks include legal penalties, fines, and reputational damage.

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.
