Summary

Splunk Enterprise from 10.4 before 10.4.4, 10.2 before 10.2.8, 10.0 before 10.0.11, and 9.4 before 9.4.16 is affected. The REST API endpoint for lookup table files does not limit resource use when processing response field selections (CWE-770). A user without the admin or power role can send it a request that makes the instance unavailable to other users until it is restarted.

Description from the CNA

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.4, 10.2.8, 10.0.11, and 9.4.16, a user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could make the Splunk Enterprise instance unavailable to other users by sending a request to the Representational State Transfer (REST) API endpoint for lookup table files. The affected instance requires a restart to restore service. The vulnerability is possible because the endpoint does not limit resource use when it processes response field selections. For more information see Endpoints reference list (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/rest-api-reference/10.4/introduction/endpoints-reference-list) and About configuring role-based user access (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/manage-users-and-security/10.4/manage-splunk-platform-users-and-roles/about-configuring-role-based-user-access) in the Splunk documentation.
