Synopsis

The remote web server contains an application that is affected by a clickjacking Vulnerability.

Description

According to its version number, the Splunk Web hosted on the remote web server is affected by a clickjacking vulnerability due to a failure to use the X-FRAME-OPTIONS header. This allows an attacker to embed elements such as links or buttons into frames on an externally hosted, attacker-controlled site, resulting in unsuspecting users performing unintended actions.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Splunk 5.0.4 or later.
