CVE-2025-20229 highlights that low-privileged users can pose significant risks by enabling them to execute arbitrary code remotely through uploading malicious files to a specific server directory. The vulnerability stems from missing authorization checks in the file upload process to: $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/splunk/apptemp.
According to the official Splunk advisory:
“A low-privileged user that does not hold the ‘admin’ or ‘power’ Splunk roles could perform a Remote Code Execution (RCE) through a file upload […] due to missing authorization checks.”
