In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.1.12, 8.2.9, and 9.0.2, an authenticated user can perform an extensible markup language (XML) external entity (XXE) injection via a custom View. The XXE injection causes Splunk Web to embed incorrect documents into an error.

Weakness

The product processes an XML document that can contain XML entities with URIs that resolve to documents outside of the intended sphere of control, causing the product to embed incorrect documents into its output.
