Splunk AI Toolkit REST API Auth Bypass for Containers (v<6.0.0)
CVE-2026-76394 Published on August 19, 2026

Missing Authorization in Container and Connection Management through the REST API in Splunk AI Toolkit
In Splunk AI Toolkit versions below 6.0.0, a low-privileged user who does not hold the "admin" or "power" Splunk roles could start, stop, and configure containers, and read or modify connection and configuration data through the Representational State Transfer (REST) API. The missing authorization is possible because multiple REST API handlers in Splunk AI Toolkit do not enforce authorization checks.
