Sensitive Information Disclosure in ''_internal'' index in Splunk Enterprise
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 19/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.36% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. Administrator privileges are required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.
Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.0, 10.0.2, 9.4.7, 9.3.8, and 9.2.11, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.2.2510.0, 10.1.2507.11, 10.0.2503.9, and 9.3.2411.120, a user of a Splunk Search Head Cluster (SHC) deployment who holds a role with access to the the Splunk _internal index could view the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) configurations for Attribute query requests (AQRs) or Authentication extensions in plain text within the conf.log file, depending on which feature is configured.
