In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.2.9, 8.1.12, and 9.0.2, an authenticated user can run arbitrary operating system commands remotely through the use of specially crafted requests to the mobile alerts feature in the Splunk Secure Gateway app.

Weakness

The product deserializes untrusted data without sufficiently ensuring that the resulting data will be valid.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Splunk Splunk 8.1.0 (including) 8.1.12 (excluding)
Splunk Splunk 8.2.0 (including) 8.2.9 (excluding)
Splunk Splunk 9.0.0 (including) 9.0.2 (excluding)
Splunk_cloud_platform Splunk * 9.0.2205 (excluding)

Potential Mitigations

  • Make fields transient to protect them from deserialization.
  • An attempt to serialize and then deserialize a class containing transient fields will result in NULLs where the transient data should be. This is an excellent way to prevent time, environment-based, or sensitive variables from being carried over and used improperly.
