Stored credential disclosure via misassigned REST capability
Published Aug 19, 2026 · Updated Aug 19, 2026
Improper access control in Splunk Enterprise before 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14 allows attackers to read stored credentials via the REST API. The properties REST endpoint checks for the rest_properties_get capability when returning stored credentials instead of enforcing list_storage_passwords, so a lower-privileged role can retrieve encrypted secrets from that endpoint. Exploitation requires an authenticated role that includes rest_properties_get, and the disclosed impact is exposure of data protected by the recovered credentials rather than direct credential modification or service interruption.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=10.0 <10.0.9
- Affected versionversion=10.2 <10.2.6
- Affected versionversion=10.4 <10.4.2
