CVE-2024-36992Network attack vector

Persistent XSS via unvalidated dashboard URL

Published Jul 1, 2024 · Updated Feb 28, 2025

Persistent XSS in Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud Platform allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in another user's browser. The Dashboard element accepts an invalid url parameter in a View without rejecting the URL and stores the resulting script-bearing payload. A low-privileged account without admin or power role access must create the View, and another user must open it for the script to run in that user's browser.
