Splunk Enterprise 9.0.0 < 9.0.10, 9.1.0 < 9.1.5, 9.2.0 < 9.2.2 (SVD-2024-0705)

high Nessus Plugin ID 201199

Language:

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-2024-0705 advisory.

 - In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.0.10, 9.1.5, and 9.2.2, a low-privileged user that does not hold the admin or power Splunk roles could cause a Remote Code Execution through an external lookup that likely references the splunk_archiver application.The splunk_archiver application likely contains a script called copybuckets.py that itself references a file called erp_launcher.py, which would likely execute a script called sudobash.The sudobash script does not perform any input checking. Therefore it runs a bash shell with arguments supplied by the erp_launcher.py file. This can lead to an RCE.
 (CVE-2024-36985)

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

Solution

Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to versions 9.2.2, 9.1.5, and 9.0.10, or higher.
