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-2023-0602 advisory.

  • In versions of Splunk Enterprise below 9.0.5, 8.2.11, and 8.1.14, and Splunk Cloud Platform below version 9.0.2303.100, a low-privileged user who holds a role that has the edit_user’ capability assigned to it can escalate their privileges to that of the admin user by providing specially crafted web requests.
    (CVE-2023-32707)

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