Splunk App for Lookup File Editing <4.0.5 Improper Permission via chmod
CVE-2025-20233 Published on March 26, 2025
Incorrect permissions set by the “chmod“ and “makedirs“ Python functions in Splunk App for Lookup File Editing
In the Splunk App for Lookup File Editing versions below 4.0.5, a script in the app used the `chmod` and `makedirs` Python functions in a way that resulted in overly broad read and execute permissions. This could lead to improper access control for a low-privileged user.
Weakness Type
Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource
The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors. When a resource is given a permissions setting that provides access to a wider range of actors than required, it could lead to the exposure of sensitive information, or the modification of that resource by unintended parties. This is especially dangerous when the resource is related to program configuration, execution or sensitive user data.
