CVE-2026-76273
Last modified
CVE-2026-76273 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.3/10 on the CVSS scale. In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.3, 10.2.7, 10.0.10, and 9.4.15, a user that holds a role with the run_collect capability could use the collect Search Processing Language (SPL) command to add attacker-controlled content to system-level messages on the Splunk platform instance. The vulnerability is possible because the collect command does not validate the index name before processing the value. EPSS estimates a 0.17% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
