high Nessus Plugin ID 208948

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-2024-1003 advisory.

- In Splunk Enterprise for Windows versions below 9.2.3 and 9.1.6, a low-privileged user that does not hold the admin or power Splunk roles could perform a Remote Code Execution (RCE) due to an insecure session storage configuration. (CVE-2024-45733)

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 9.3.0, 9.2.3, and 9.1.6, or higher.
