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 store a dashboard view that runs JavaScript in the browser of another user who opens it and hovers over a sparkline table cell, allowing for access to all relevant data and system integrity available to that user. The vulnerability is possible because the dashboard table renderer does not sufficiently restrict tooltip options or escape tooltip content before display.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability is a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in Splunk Enterprise dashboard rendering. A non‑admin or power user can save a malicious dashboard that injects JavaScript into the tooltip of a sparkline cell. When another user opens the dashboard and hovers over the cell, the script executes in the victim’s browser with the victim’s privileges, allowing the attacker to read page data and access any resources available to that user.

Affected Systems

Affected vendors include Splunk Enterprise. All versions prior to 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14 are vulnerable. These versions run the dashboard view and tooltip renderer that fails to escape content.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.7 indicates a moderate risk. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in KEV. The attack requires a non‑admin or power user to construct a malicious dashboard and a target user to view it. Once the target hovers over a sparkline cell, the payload runs in the target’s browser, giving the attacker access to data and system capabilities available to the target.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to versions 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, or higher.


Vendor Workaround

The vulnerability affects instances with Splunk Web turned on. Turning Splunk Web off is a possible workaround. See [Disable unnecessary Splunk Enterprise components](https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/manage-users-and-security/10.2/install-splunk-enterprise-securely/disable-unnecessary-splunk-enterprise-components) and the [web.conf](https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/admin-manual/10.2/configuration-file-reference/10.2.0-configuration-file-reference/web.conf) configuration specification file for more information on turning off Splunk Web.


OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to version 10.4.2 or later to apply the vendor’s fix.
  • If upgrading is not possible, disable the Splunk Web interface to eliminate the exploit surface.
  • Limit dashboard creation and modification privileges to Administrators or Power users until the fix is deployed.
