Splunk 5.0 Custom App Remote Code Execution

Splunk 5.0 Custom App Remote Code Execution
Posted Dec 8, 2012
Authored by sinn3r, juan vazquez, [at]marcwickenden | Site metasploit.com

This Metasploit module exploits a feature of Splunk whereby a custom application can be uploaded through the web based interface. Through the 'script' search command a user can call commands defined in their custom application which includes arbitrary perl or python code. To abuse this behavior, a valid Splunk user with the admin role is required. By default, this module uses the credential of "admin:changeme", the default Administrator credential for Splunk. Note that the Splunk web interface runs as SYSTEM on Windows, or as root on Linux by default. This Metasploit module has only been tested successfully against Splunk 5.0.
