Persistent XSS via Data Model object names
Published Nov 4, 2022 · Updated Apr 30, 2025
Stored XSS in Splunk Web in Splunk Enterprise before 8.1.12, 8.2.9, or 9.0.2 allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts. Splunk Web accepts attacker-controlled script content in a Data Model object's name and stores it without neutralizing executable markup before display. A low-privileged account able to create a Data Model can persist the payload; execution requires another user to view it, and instances without Splunk Web are unaffected.
