Dashboards in Splunk Enterprise versions before 9.0 might let an attacker inject risky search commands into a form token when the token is used in a query in a cross-origin request. The result bypasses SPL safeguards for risky commands. See New capabilities can limit access to some custom and potentially risky commands (https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/9.0.0/Security/SPLsafeguards#Newcapabilitiescanlimitaccesstosomecustomandpotentiallyriskycommands) for more information. Note that the attack is browser-based and an attacker cannot exploit it at will.
