Description

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.3, a user that holds a role with the list_spl2_modules capability could use SQL injection in SPL2 module filtering to access all relevant data available through the affected Representational State Transfer (REST) API, including private SPL2 module definitions belonging to other users. The vulnerability is possible because Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud Platform do not parameterize user-supplied values before using them in database queries for SPL2 module filtering. For more information see Manage SPL2 modules (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/search/spl2-search-manual/multiple-searches-in-an-spl2-module/manage-spl2-modules) and Module permissions (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/search/spl2-search-manual/modules-statements-and-views/module-permissions) in the Splunk documentation. Splunk Enterprise versions 10.2.x, 10.0.x, and 9.4.x are not affected.

Exploitability

CWE
CWE Icon
KEV
KEV Icon
CWE ID Description
CWE-89 The product constructs all or part of an SQL command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended SQL command when it is sent to a downstream component. Without sufficient removal or quoting of SQL syntax in user-controllable inputs, the generated SQL query can cause those inputs to be interpreted as SQL instead of ordinary user data.

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a SQL injection flaw in Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.3. A user with the list_spl2_modules capability can exploit it by injecting malicious SQL queries into SPL2 module filtering. This allows access to all data available through the REST API, including private SPL2 module definitions belonging to other users. The issue occurs because user-supplied values are not properly parameterized before being used in database queries.

Detection Guidance

Detecting this vulnerability requires checking Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.3. Use the command 'splunk version' to verify the installed version. If the version is below 10.4.3, the system is potentially vulnerable.

Impact Analysis

If you are a Splunk Enterprise user with the list_spl2_modules capability in versions below 10.4.3, an attacker could exploit this to access sensitive data, including private module definitions of other users. This could lead to unauthorized data exposure, potential data breaches, and compromise of confidential information.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized access to sensitive data, which may violate compliance requirements under GDPR, HIPAA, or other regulations. Unauthorized data exposure could result in legal penalties, fines, or reputational damage due to non-compliance with data protection standards.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to version 10.4.3 or later immediately. If upgrading is not possible, restrict access to users with the list_spl2_modules capability to reduce exposure.
