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-2025-1002 advisory.

 - In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.4.4, 9.3.6 and 9.2.8, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 9.3.2411.109, 9.3.2408.119 and 9.2.2406.122, a low-privileged user that does not hold the 'admin' or 'power' Splunk roles could craft a malicious payload through the `dataset.command` parameter of the `/app/search/table` endpoint, which could result in execution of unauthorized JavaScript code in the browser of a user. (CVE-2025-20367)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution
