CVE-2024-45741Network attack vector

Browser code execution via custom api.uri payload

Published Oct 14, 2024 · Updated Feb 28, 2025

Stored XSS in Splunk Web allows remote authenticated users to execute JavaScript in another user’s browser through a saved payload. Splunk Web reads an attacker-controlled api.uri value from a custom configuration file through the /manager/search/apps/local endpoint without neutralizing it for browser execution. The gate is a low-privileged account without the admin or power role plus a second user’s browser visit; affected branches are Splunk Enterprise 9.1 before 9.1.6 and 9.2 before 9.2.3, and Splunk Cloud Platform 9.1.2312 before 9.1.2312.205 and 9.2.2403 before 9.2.2403.108.
