title: SPL Command Safeguards Bypass via the ‘collect’ SPL Command Aliases in Splunk Enterprise
description: In Splunk Enterprise versions below 8.1.13, 8.2.10, and 9.0.4, aliases of the ‘collect’ search processing language (SPL) command, including ‘summaryindex’, ‘sumindex’, ‘stash’,’ mcollect’, and ‘meventcollect’, were not designated as safeguarded commands. The commands could potentially allow for the exposing of data to a summary index that unprivileged users could access. The vulnerability requires a higher privileged user to initiate a request within their browser, and only affects instances with Splunk Web enabled.
problem types: The product does not validate or incorrectly validates input that can affect the control flow or data flow of a program.
