An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-20296 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-2026-20296/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20296/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-20296","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20296/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-20296","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hxgj-4vg5-fpww"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Splunk Enterprise","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can trick users into executing arbitrary SPL searches as system user, exposing credentials and data.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"splunk","vendor":"splunk"},{"product":"splunk_cloud_platform","vendor":"splunk"}],"cvss":{"score":8.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.1, 10.2.5, 10.0.8, and 9.4.13, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.5.2605.0, 10.4.2604.7, 10.3.2512.16, 10.2.2510.18, and 10.1.2507.24, an attacker could trick a user that holds a role with the `list_deployment_server` capability into running arbitrary Search Processing Language (SPL) searches on their behalf as `splunk-system-user`, allowing for access to stored credentials and indexed data.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe vulnerability is possible because Deployment Server endpoints in Splunk Web do not validate Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) tokens on GET requests, and caller-supplied input is not correctly neutralized before it is placed into an SPL search.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"SPL Command Safeguards Bypass through Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in Deployment Server in Splunk Enterprise","id":"CVE-2026-20296","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"splunk:splunk","products":["splunk:splunk","splunk:splunk_cloud_platform"],"type":"csrf","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Path Traversal through 'explicit_appname' in the App Install REST Endpoint in Splunk Enterprise","id":"CVE-2026-20297"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC)","id":"CVE-2026-20295"},"products":["Splunk Cloud Platform","Splunk Enterprise"],"published":"2026-07-15","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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-16","vendors":["Splunk"]},"summary":"Attackers can trick users into executing arbitrary SPL searches as system user, exposing credentials and data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-20296/"}
