Splunk Enterprise Deployment Servers < 9.0 RCE

critical Nessus Plugin ID 164075

Language:

Synopsis

An application running on a remote web server host may be affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

Splunk Enterprise deployment servers in versions 8.1.x prior to 8.1.10.1, 8.2.x prior to 8.2.6.1, and 9.0 let clients deploy forwarder bundles to other deployment clients through the deployment server. An attacker that compromised a Universal Forwarder endpoint could use the vulnerability to execute arbitrary code on all other Universal Forwarder endpoints subscribed to the deployment server.

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 version 8.1.0.1, 8.2.6.1, 9.0, or later.
