In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.0, 10.0.2, 9.4.7, 9.3.8, and 9.2.11, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.2.2510.0, 10.1.2507.11, 10.0.2503.9, and 9.3.2411.120, a user of a Splunk Search Head Cluster (SHC) deployment who holds a role with access to the the Splunk _internal index could view the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) configurations for Attribute query requests (AQRs) or Authentication extensions in plain text within the conf.log file, depending on which feature is configured.
This vulnerability carries a MEDIUM severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 6.8, indicating it requires adjacent network access with relatively low complexity without requiring user interaction . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 2 products from splunk, from splunk organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.
Reported in 2026, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For splunk's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
