Descriptions

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.2.9, 8.1.12, and 9.0.2, an authenticated user can run risky commands using a more privileged user’s permissions to bypass SPL safeguards for risky commands https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/SplunkCloud/latest/Security/SPLsafeguards in the Analytics Workspace. The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the victim by tricking them into initiating a request within their browser. The attacker cannot exploit the vulnerability at will.

En las versiones de Splunk Enterprise anteriores a 8.2.9, 8.1.12 y 9.0.2, un usuario autenticado puede ejecutar comandos con riesgo utilizando los permisos de un usuario con más privilegios para evitar las protecciones de SPL para comandos con riesgo https://docs.splunk.com/ Documentación/SplunkCloud/latest/Security/SPLsafeguards en el espacio de trabajo de Analytics. La vulnerabilidad requiere que el atacante realice phishing a la víctima engañándola para que inicie una solicitud dentro de su navegador. El atacante no puede explotar la vulnerabilidad a voluntad.
