What is CVE-2026-76393?

CVE-2026-76393 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Splunk AI Toolkit, published on 19 Aug 2026. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

Official description

In Splunk AI Toolkit versions below 6.0.0, a user who can upload models could overwrite a model being uploaded by another user by sending a concurrent upload request for the same model name, causing the resulting model lookup entry to reference attacker-controlled content. The race condition is possible because Splunk AI Toolkit does not verify that the uploaded content belongs to the request that creates the model lookup entry.
