CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic was found in Splunk (Log Management Software). Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown code block. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in Splunk 4.x before 4.2.5 allow remote authenticated users to read arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in a URI to (1) Splunk Web or (2) the Splunkd HTTP Server, aka SPL-45243.

The weakness was shared 01/03/2012 by Gary O'Leary-Steele (Website). The advisory is shared at exploit-db.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2011-4643 since 11/30/2011. The exploitation appears to be easy. The attack can be launched remotely. The requirement for exploitation is a single authentication. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1006 for this issue.

A public exploit has been developed by Gary O'Leary-Steele and been published before and not just after the advisory. It is possible to download the exploit at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 19 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 12546 (Splunk Prior to 4.2.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities (SP-CAAAGMM)).

Upgrading to version 4.1.8 eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (72244), Exploit-DB (18245), SecurityFocus (BID 78382†), OSVDB (77695†) and Secunia (SA47232†).
