Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-08-30 18:30 – Updated: 2024-04-04 07:17

Details

In Splunk Enterprise versions earlier than 8.2.12, 9.0.6, and 9.1.1, a dynamic link library (DLL) that ships with Splunk Enterprise references an insecure path for the OPENSSLDIR build definition. An attacker can abuse this reference and subsequently install malicious code to achieve privilege escalation on the Windows machine.

Severity ?

7.0 (High)
