"The version of Splunk installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the SVD-2026-0205 advisory.

  - In Splunk Enterprise for Windows versions below 10.2.0, 10.0.3, 9.4.8, 9.3.9, and 9.2.12, a lowprivileged
    Windows user who can create a directory on the system drive where Splunk Enterprise is installed and write
    a malicious DLL into that directory, might cause Splunk Enterprise for Windows to load that DLL during
    Splunk Enterprise service startup. This condition can result in a Local Privilege Escalation (LPE) through
    a DLL searchorder hijacking, as the injected DLL might run with system level privileges when the Splunk
    Enterprise instance restarts. (CVE-2026-20140)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
