[TLP:CLEAR] Splunk Enterprise fixes multiple vulnerabilities

Splunk versions 9.1.6, 9.2.3 and 9.3.1 fix several vulnerabilities in Splunk Enterprise. Three high-severity vulnerabilities are described below [1][2][3]; others can be found here [4].

Splunk Enterprise - remote code execution (CVE-2024-45733)
CVSS 8.8 (High)

An authenticated remote attacker who does not hold the "admin" or "power" role can achieve remote code execution due to an insecure session storage configuration [1].

The vulnerability is present in product:

  • Splunk Enterprise; >=9.2.0, <=9.2.2; >=9.1.0, <=9.1.5

CVSS: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

More information:

The vulnerability was publicly disclosed 14. 10. 2024.

Splunk Enterprise - remote code execution (CVE-2024-45731)
CVSS 8.0 (High)

An authenticated remote attacker who does not hold the "admin" or "power" role can write a file to the Windows root directory, specifically the System32 folder, if Splunk Enterprise is installed on a separate drive. The attacker can thus create a malicious DLL library whose loading could lead to remote code execution [2].

The vulnerability is present in product:

  • Splunk Enterprise; =9.3.0; >=9.2.0, <=9.2.2; >=9.1.0, <=9.1.5

CVSS: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

Splunk Enterprise - restricted data access (CVE-2024-45732)
CVSS 7.1 (High)

An authenticated remote attacker with low privileges, who does not hold the "admin" or "power" role, can run a search as the "nobody" user in the SplunkDeploymentServerConfig app and access potentially restricted data [3].

The vulnerability is present in product:

  • Splunk Enterprise; =9.3.0; >=9.2.0, <=9.2.2

CVSS: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N
