This could result in execution of unauthorized JavaScript code in the browser of a user.  \n\nThe vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the victim by tricking them into initiating a request within their browser. The authenticated user should not be able to exploit the vulnerability at will.","published":"2026-03-11T17:16:56.000Z","lastModified":"2026-06-17T10:17:15.000Z","status":"Analyzed","sourceIdentifier":"psirt@cisco.com","cvss":{"version":"3.1","score":6.3,"severity":"MEDIUM","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N"},"cwe":["CWE-79"],"affected":["splunk/splunk","splunk/splunk cloud platform"],"epss":{"score":0.00209,"percentile":0.10967,"date":"2026-10-26","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"low","text":"Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.21%).
