Restricted index metric disclosure via mrollup authorization bypass
Published Jan 22, 2024 · Updated Jun 17, 2025
Improper input validation in Splunk Web allows remote authenticated users to view restricted index metrics through mrollup. The mrollup command fails to enforce index authorization when retrieving metrics, allowing a low-privileged account to cross an index access boundary. Exploitation requires interaction from a high-privileged user and exposes metrics from otherwise unauthorized indexes.
