Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-20251 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2026-20251/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20251/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-20251","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20251/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-20251","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3crw-7xg9-fpxg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Splunk Secure Gateway","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A low-privileged user can achieve remote code execution in Splunk Secure Gateway via unsafe deserialization of KV Store data using jsonpickle.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"splunk","vendor":"splunk"},{"product":"splunk_cloud_platform","vendor":"splunk"},{"product":"splunk_secure_gateway","vendor":"splunk"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-502","name":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data"}],"description":"In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.4, 10.0.7, 9.4.12, and 9.3.13, Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.3.2512.12, 10.2.2510.14, 10.1.2507.22, and 9.3.2411.132, and Splunk Secure Gateway versions below 3.10.6, 3.9.20, and 3.8.67, a low-privileged user that does not hold the 'admin' or 'power' Splunk roles could perform a Remote Code Execution (RCE) through the Splunk Secure Gateway app.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Remote Code Execution is possible because of unsafe deserialization of App Key Value Store (KV Store) data through the ‘jsonpickle’ Python library, which reconstructs arbitrary Python objects from specially crafted JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) without adequate validation.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-06-26","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":3,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-06-26T21:12:30Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/reactivezero/CVE-2026-20251","stars":3,"title":"CVE-2026-20251 — Splunk Secure Gateway jsonpickle deserialization RCE (CVSS 8.8) | ReactiveZero Security Research"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Remote Code Execution through Deserialization of Untrusted Data in Splunk Secure Gateway","id":"CVE-2026-20251","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"splunk:splunk","products":["splunk:splunk","splunk:splunk_cloud_platform"],"type":"deserialization","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) through Dashboard Studio PDF Export in Splunk Enterprise","id":"CVE-2026-20252"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software","id":"CVE-2026-20250"},"products":["Splunk Cloud Platform","Splunk Enterprise","Splunk Secure Gateway"],"published":"2026-06-10","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":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-11","vendors":["Splunk"]},"summary":"A low-privileged user can achieve remote code execution in Splunk Secure Gateway via unsafe deserialization of KV Store data using jsonpickle.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20251/"}
