Title
Sensitive Information Disclosure in Splunk Secure Gateway App
Summary
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.4.1, 9.3.3, 9.2.5, and 9.1.8, and versions below 3.8.38 and 3.7.23 of the Splunk Secure Gateway app on Splunk Cloud Platform, a low-privileged user that does not hold the “admin“ or “power“ Splunk roles could run a search using the permissions of a higher-privileged user that could lead to disclosure of sensitive information.<br><br>The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the victim by tricking them into initiating a request within their browser. The authenticated low-privileged user should not be able to exploit the vulnerability at will.
