CVE-2026-76327: SPL Injection through Splunk Web in Splunk Secure Gateway
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, and Splunk Secure Gateway versions below 3.10.9, 3.9.23, and 3.8.70, an unauthenticated user could trick a user who holds the "admin" or "scadmin" Splunk roles into opening a crafted Splunk Web Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The resulting dashboard searches could run arbitrary Search Processing Language (SPL) commands with the permissions available to the affected user. The commands could expose all relevant data available to that user and affect search results or lookup data. The vulnerability is possible because Splunk Secure Gateway dashboards do not correctly neutralize caller-supplied values before using them in dashboard searches. The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the affected user by tricking them into initiating a request within their browser. The unauthenticated user should not be able to exploit the vulnerability at will.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Which users are at risk if they open a crafted URL?
The affected user must hold the Splunk "admin" or "sc_admin" role. Injected SPL commands run with that user's permissions and can expose data available to that user or alter search results or lookup data.
Can an unauthenticated attacker exploit this directly without user interaction?
No. The attacker must trick an affected administrator into opening a crafted Splunk Web URL and initiating the request in their browser; the issue cannot be exploited at will by an unauthenticated user.
Which releases address this issue?
Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, or 9.4.14 or later in the respective release line. Upgrade Splunk Secure Gateway to 3.10.9, 3.9.23, or 3.8.70 or later in the respective release line.
