Synopsis

An application running on a remote web server host is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of Splunk installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SVD-2023-0211 advisory.

 - In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.1.13, 8.2.10, and 9.0.4, an improperly-formatted INGEST_EVAL' parameter in a Field Transformation crashes the Splunk daemon (splunkd). (CVE-2023-22941)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
