CVE-2024-29945
Splunk Authentication Token Exposure in Debug Log in Splunk Enterprise
Description

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.2.1, 9.1.4, and 9.0.9, the software potentially exposes authentication tokens during the token validation process. This exposure happens when either Splunk Enterprise runs in debug mode or the JsonWebToken component has been configured to log its activity at the DEBUG logging level.

Solution

  • There are multiple solutions depending on how you have configured the Splunk Enterprise instance.First, determine whether or not debug logging is on, either globally or for the JsonWebToken component. You must log into the Splunk Enterprise instance as an admin user or equivalent to perform these actions.To determine the current global logging mode on the instance:In a web browser, visit the Server Logging Settings page in Splunk Web at /en- US/manager/system/server/logger.Review the Logging Level column on the page that loads. If every row in this column shows DEBUG as the logging level, then the Splunk Enterprise instance is in debug mode. Otherwise, it is not in debug mode.To determine the current logging level for the JsonWebToken processor:In a web browser, search for the JsonWebToken processor configuration by visiting /en-US/manager/system/server/logger?search=JsonWebToken.Review the Logging level column for the processor. If this row has a value of DEBUG, then the processor currently logs its activity at the DEBUG level.See Enable debug logging for more information.If either of these steps determines that debug logging is on, either globally or for the JsonWebToken component, then remedy the problem by performing the following tasks:Upgrade Splunk Enterprise to versions 9.2.1, 9.1.4, 9.0.9, or higher.Delete the following log file on the Splunk Enterprise instance: $SPLUNK_HOME/var/log/splunk/splunkd.logLog into Splunk Web on the Splunk Enterprise instance and delete all log file events for the JsonWebToken component from the _internal index by running the following search command: index=_internal component=JsonWebToken | deleteNote: The delete SPL command requires the can_delete role, which administrators do not receive by default. See delete for more info on the delete search command.While you are logged in, rotate any potentially exposed authentication tokens. See Manage or delete authentication tokens for more information.
