Splunk Enterprise < 5.0.16 / 6.0.12 / 6.1.11 / 6.2.10 / 6.3.6 / 6.4.3 or Splunk Light < 6.4.3 Cross-Site Redirection

medium Nessus Plugin ID 93110

Synopsis

An application running on the remote web server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the version of Splunk Enterprise hosted on the remote web server is 5.0.x prior to 5.0.16, 6.0.x prior to 6.0.12, 6.1.x prior to 6.1.11, 6.2.x prior to 6.2.10, 6.3.x prior to 6.3.6, or 6.4.x prior to 6.4.3; or else it is Splunk Light version 6.4.x prior to 6.4.3. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site redirection vulnerability due to improper validation of unspecified input before returning it to the user. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to follow a specially crafted URL, to redirect the user to an arbitrary website of the attacker's choosing.

Solution

Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to version 5.0.16 / 6.0.12 / 6.1.11 / 6.2.10 / 6.3.6 / 6.4.3 or later, or Splunk Light to version 6.4.3 or later.
