The ownership reassignment endpoint lacks access control.•CVE-2026-20259
  2. In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.4, 10.0.7, 9.4.12, and 9.3.13, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.3.2512.11, 10.2.2510.15, 10.1.2507.23, and 9.3.2411.132, a low-privileged user that does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could store a malicious script in a classic dashboard HTML panel, causing unauthorized JavaScript code to execute in the browser of another user. The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the victim by tricking them into initiating a request within their browser. The low-privileged user should not be able to exploit the vulnerability at will.•CVE-2026-20258
  3. In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.4, 10.0.7, 9.4.12, and 9.3.13, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.3.2512.13, 10.2.2510.15, 10.1.2507.23, and 9.3.2411.132, a low-privileged user that does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could craft a classic dashboard that exfiltrates sensitive data from the browser of a higher-privileged user who views it. The exfiltration is possible because classic dashboard panels do not fully validate style attribute values, which can allow for requests to reach external domains outside the configured Trusted Domains List. The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the victim by tricking them into initiating a request within their browser. The low-privileged user should not be able to exploit the vulnerability at will.•CVE-2026-20257
  4.

Protocol-relative URLs such as `//attacker.com` bypass this check entirely, and Splunk Web does not show the external-navigation warning dialog to the victim.•CVE-2026-20256
  5. In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.4, 10.0.7, 9.4.12, and 9.3.13, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.3.2512.13, 10.2.2510.15, 10.1.2507.23, and 9.3.2411.132, a low-privileged user that does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could craft a malicious classic dashboard that exfiltrates sensitive data to an external server. The vulnerability exists because URL validation on the external content dialog is incomplete, which can allow for requests to untrusted domains when a user interacts with a crafted dashboard.•CVE-2026-20255
