An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2011-4644 exists.\n\nAffected product: Splunk Splunk. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-4644/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-4644/index.md)","id":"CVE-2011-4644","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-4644/index.md","name":"CVE-2011-4644","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-84gg-j7wj-x5hv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Splunk server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files and execute commands on Splunk servers using a Free license due to missing authentication in the management console.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"splunk","vendor":"splunk"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Splunk 4.2.5 and earlier, when a Free license is selected, enables potentially undesirable functionality within an environment that intentionally does not support authentication, which allows remote attackers to (1) read arbitrary files via a management-console session that leverages the ability to create crafted data sources, or (2) execute management commands via an HTTP request.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2011-12-15","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2011-12-15","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"18245","stars":null,"title":"Splunk - Remote Command Execution"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-4644","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"splunk:splunk","products":["splunk:splunk"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2011"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-4646"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-4643"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-01-03","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Splunk Enterprise Missing Authentication for Critical Function","id":"CVE-2026-20253","kev_date_added":"2026-06-18","published":"2026-06-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing Authentication for Critical Function in the Patroni REST API in Splunk Enterprise","id":"CVE-2026-76268","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Improper Neutralization in Splunk Enterprise","id":"CVE-2026-76284","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Improper Adherence to Coding Standards in Splunk Enterprise","id":"CVE-2026-76285","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17067","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10126","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-10"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Improper Access Control through Embedded Report REST API Requests in Splunk Enterprise","id":"CVE-2026-76310","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files and execute commands on Splunk servers using a Free license due to missing authentication in the management console.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-4644/"}
