CVE-2026-76330: SPL Injection through Monitoring Console Forwarder Filters in Splunk Enterprise
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, an unauthenticated user could trick an authenticated user into opening a crafted link to Monitoring Console. When the authenticated user opens the link, Splunk Enterprise runs attacker-controlled Search Processing Language (SPL) using the permissions of that user. The injected SPL could access data and perform actions available to that user. The vulnerability is possible because Monitoring Console does not sufficiently validate data used to build forwarder dashboard searches. The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the user by tricking them into opening the crafted link. The unauthenticated user should not be able to exploit the vulnerability at will.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which users are at risk from this issue?
Authenticated users who can access Monitoring Console and are persuaded to open an attacker-crafted link are exposed. Any data access or actions performed by injected SPL are limited to the permissions of the user who opens the link.
Can an unauthenticated attacker exploit this directly without user interaction?
No. The attacker must trick an authenticated user into opening a crafted Monitoring Console link; the issue cannot be exploited by an unauthenticated user at will.
Which Splunk Enterprise versions are affected?
The issue affects Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14.
