Splunk Enterprise 9.2.0 < 9.2.3, 9.3.0 < 9.3.1 (SVD-2024-1002)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 208956

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-2024-1002 advisory.

- In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.3.1, and 9.2.0 versions below 9.2.3, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 9.2.2403.103, 9.1.2312.200, 9.1.2312.110 and 9.1.2308.208, a low-privileged user that does not hold the admin or power Splunk roles could run a search as the nobody Splunk user in the SplunkDeploymentServerConfig app. This could let the low-privileged user access potentially restricted data. (CVE-2024-45732)

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 9.3.1, 9.2.3 or higher. Splunk Enterprise 9.1 versions and below are not affected.Splunk is actively monitoring and patching Splunk Cloud Platform instances.
