CVE-2026-76396

Summary

In Splunk AI Toolkit versions below 6.0.0, a user that holds a role with the schedule_search capability could cause a scheduled search to load and deserialize a model file through the apply search command. The improper access control is possible because Splunk AI Toolkit does not mark the apply search command as risky. For more information see Troubleshoot the AI Toolkit (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/apply-machine-learning/use-ai-toolkit/5.7.3/troubleshooting-the-ai-toolkit/troubleshoot-the-ai-toolkit) in the Splunk documentation.

Affected Software

Weaknesses

• CWE-269: The software does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.

Workarounds

Turn off or remove the Splunk AI Toolkit app. For more information see Manage app and add-on objects in the Splunk documentation. Note: turning off Splunk AI Toolkit turns off AI Toolkit Search Processing Language (SPL) commands and model operations. Splunk App for Data Science and Deep Learning and custom search commands that depend on AI Toolkit models or APIs might stop functioning. Unrelated Splunk custom search commands are not affected. For more information see Troubleshoot the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit and DSDL install/version dependencies in the Splunk documentation.
