Summary
In Splunk AI Toolkit versions below 6.0.0, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could obtain predictable or default credentials for connected container services. The use of hard-coded credentials is possible because Splunk AI Toolkit generates or stores credentials for connected container services using predictable or hard-coded default values. For more information see Connections tab in the AI Toolkit (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-cloud-platform/apply-machine-learning/use-ai-toolkit/5.7.2/ai-toolkit-commands-macros-and-visualizations/connections-tab-in-the-ai-toolkit) in the Splunk documentation.
