Description
In Splunk AI Toolkit versions below 6.0.0, a user who can upload models could overwrite a model being uploaded by another user by sending a concurrent upload request for the same model name, causing the resulting model lookup entry to reference attacker-controlled content. The race condition is possible because Splunk AI Toolkit does not verify that the uploaded content belongs to the request that creates the model lookup entry. For more information see Troubleshoot the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-cloud-platform/apply-machine-learning/machine-learning-toolkit-user-guide/5.5.0/troubleshooting-mltk/troubleshoot-the-splunk-machine-learning-toolkit) in the Splunk documentation.

Remediation

Vendor Solution

Upgrade each affected Splunk app or add-on to the applicable fixed version listed in Product Status.


Vendor Workaround

Turn off or remove the Splunk AI Toolkit app. For more information see [Manage app and add-on objects](https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/administer/admin-manual/10.2/meet-splunk-apps/manage-app-and-add-on-objects) in the Splunk documentation. Note: turning off Splunk AI Toolkit turns off AI Toolkit Search Processing Language (SPL) commands and model operations. Splunk App for Data Science and Deep Learning and custom search commands that depend on AI Toolkit models or APIs might stop functioning. Unrelated Splunk custom search commands are not affected. For more information see [Troubleshoot the Splunk Machine Learning Toolkit](https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-cloud-platform/apply-machine-learning/use-ai-toolkit/5.5.0/troubleshooting-mltk/troubleshoot-the-splunk-machine-learning-toolkit) and [DSDL install/version dependencies](https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/apply-machine-learning/splunk-app-for-data-science-and-deep-learning/5.1/install-and-configure-the-splunk-app-for-data-science-and-deep-learning/install-or-upgrade-the-splunk-app-for-data-science-and-deep-learning) in the Splunk documentation.
