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-2024-0711 advisory.

- In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.2.2, 9.1.5, and 9.0.10, an attacker could perform a path traversal on the /modules/messaging/ endpoint in Splunk Enterprise on Windows.The vulnerability exists because the Python os.path.join function removes the drive letter from path tokens if the drive in the token matches the drive in the built path.This vulnerability should only affect Splunk Enterprise on Windows.
(CVE-2024-36991)

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.
