CVE-2026-76397Improper Access Control in Experiment History through the REST API in Splunk AI Toolkit
High 8.1
In plain English
A high-severity authorization bypass via user-controlled key in Splunk AI Toolkit from Splunk. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.4% (higher than 29% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
In Splunk AI Toolkit versions below 6.0.0, a user who holds the "power" Splunk role could access and delete all relevant data in experiment history, including data associated with other users. The vulnerability is possible because Splunk AI Toolkit does not preserve the trusted experiment scope when it processes caller-controlled query values before accessing restricted history data. For more information see Experiment Assistants (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-cloud-platform/apply-machine-learning/use-ai-toolkit/5.6.4/experiment-assistants) in the Splunk documentation.
