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-2024-0703 advisory.

 - In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.2.2, 9.1.5, and 9.0.10 and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 9.1.2312.109 and 9.1.2308.207, an authenticated user could create an external lookup that calls a legacy internal function. The authenticated user could use this internal function to insert code into the Splunk platform installation directory.
