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-2025-1204 advisory.

 - In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.0.2, 9.4.6, 9.3.8, and 9.2.10, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.1.2507.6, 10.0.2503.7, and 9.3.2411.117, a user who holds a role with a high privilege capability `admin_all_objects` could craft a malicious payload through the href attribute of an anchor tag within a collection in the navigation bar, which could result in execution of unauthorized JavaScript code in the browser of a user. (CVE-2025-20385)

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 10.0.2, 9.4.6, 9.3.8, 9.2.10, or higher.Splunk is actively monitoring and patching Splunk Cloud Platform instances.
