Status: ModifiedMedium (4.8)—
Persistent Cross Site Scripting (XSS) exists in Splunk Enterprise 6.5.x before 6.5.2, 6.4.x before 6.4.6, and 6.3.x before 6.3.9 and Splunk Light before 6.5.2, with exploitation requiring administrative access, aka SPL-134104.
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- Base score: 4.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.50%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 41
- Score date: 10/7/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
