Technical details

A Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in the Dashboard Studio PDF export feature of Splunk Web. The flaw is caused by two primary issues: the trusted-domain validation mechanism uses a prefix match that can be bypassed using attacker-controlled subdomains (e.g., docs.splunk.com.attacker.com), and the PDF export service automatically follows HTTP redirects without re-validating the new destination against the allowlist. An authenticated, low-privileged user can exploit this to send arbitrary requests to internal destinations. Patches are available for Splunk Enterprise (10.2.4, 10.0.7, 9.4.12, 9.3.13) and various Splunk Cloud Platform versions.
