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-2025-0707 advisory.

 - In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.4.2, 9.3.5, 9.2.7, and 9.1.10 and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 9.3.2411.104, 9.3.2408.113, and 9.2.2406.119, a low-privileged user that does not hold the admin or power Splunk roles could create or overwrite system source type configurations by sending a specially-crafted payload to the /servicesNS/nobody/search/admin/sourcetypes/ REST endpoint on the Splunk management port. (CVE-2025-20324)

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 9.4.2, 9.3.5, 9.2.7, 9.1.10, or higher.Splunk is actively monitoring and patching Splunk Cloud Platform instances.
