## What is CVE-2026-76351?

CVE-2026-76351 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Splunk Splunk, published on 19 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.

### Official description

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, and Splunk Secure Gateway versions below 3.10.9, 3.9.23, and 3.8.70, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could use crafted report notification data to cause Splunk Secure Gateway to send a request to the Splunk Enterprise Representational State Transfer (REST) API using a system-level session token and modify the Splunk platform configuration. The user could then obtain a session token without a password and use it to access all relevant data and affect system integrity. The vulnerability is possible because Splunk Secure Gateway does not validate decoded report notification identifiers before using them to construct requests to the Splunk Enterprise REST API.

Weakness: CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-76351 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-76351 is a high-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in Splunk Splunk, published on 19 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Exploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-76351 in the wild and no public exploit code.

Affected product: Splunk Splunk. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.

Task:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
