CVE-2023-32715Network attack vector

Browser script execution via unneutralized app input

Published Jun 1, 2023 · Updated Feb 28, 2025

Cross-site scripting in Splunk App for Lookup File Editing before 4.0.1 allows remote attackers to run JavaScript in a victim's browser. The app places user-controllable script into web output without adequate neutralization; Splunk has not disclosed the affected input or rendering path. Exploitation requires phishing that induces a browser request and further user interaction, so attackers cannot trigger execution at will.
