ENISA EUVD identifier

EUVD-2026-63115

No EUVD known-exploited evidence

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2 and 10.2.6, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could delete Splunk Processing Language version 2 (SPL2) modules belonging to other users through the data management orchestrator interface. The vulnerability does not affect Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2. The broken object level authorization is possible because the data management orchestrator does not verify that the requesting user owns the target resources before it deletes the modules. For more information see Manage SPL2-based apps (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/admin-manual/10.4/meet-splunk-apps/manage-spl2-based-apps) in the Splunk documentation.

What, why and how

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2 and 10.2.6, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could delete Splunk Processing Language version 2 (SPL2) modules belonging to other users through the data management orchestrator interface. The vulnerability does not affect Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2. The broken object level authorization is possible because the data management orchestrator does not verify that the requesting user owns the target resources before it deletes the modules. For more information see Manage SPL2-based apps (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/admin-manual/10.4/meet-splunk-apps/manage-spl2-based-apps) in the Splunk documentation.

Why

The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path

CWE-639 ↗

CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key. The system's authorization functionality does not prevent one user from gaining access to another user's data or record by modifying the key value identifying the data.
