Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Splunk Enterprise versions prior to 10.2.0, 10.0.3, 9.4.9, and 9.3.10 Splunk Cloud Platform versions prior to 10.2.2510.5, 10.1.2507.16, 10.0.2503.11, and 9.3.2411.123

Description A user with limited privileges, lacking the 'admin' or 'power' Splunk roles, can access the /splunkd/ raw/servicesNS/-/-/configs/conf-passwords API endpoint. This endpoint exposes hashed or plaintext password values stored in the passwords.conf configuration file due to insufficient access controls. This could lead to the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive credentials.

Recommendations Splunk Enterprise versions prior to 10.2.0, 10.0.3, 9.4.9, and 9.3.10 should be updated. Splunk Cloud Platform versions prior to 10.2.2510.5, 10.1.2507.16, 10.0.2503.11, and 9.3.2411.123 should be updated.
