Summary
Splunk Enterprise from 10.4 before 10.4.3, from 10.2 before 10.2.7, from 10.0 before 10.0.10, and from 9.4 before 9.4.15 is affected. The REST API does not fully enforce per-user authorization when it lists search jobs (CWE-285). A remote user with low privileges, who lacks the admin or power role, can read search query text and job metadata of other users' jobs.

Description from the CNA
In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.3, 10.2.7, 10.0.10, and 9.4.15, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could access search query text and job metadata for jobs that belong to other users, including job identifiers, dispatch parameters, result counts, and execution metadata, through an Application Programming Interface (API) implemented as a Representational State Transfer (REST) API. The vulnerability is possible because the REST API does not fully enforce per-user authorization before it includes job information in search job listings.
