    below 9.3.2411.104, 9.3.2408.114, and 9.2.2406.119, an unauthenticated attacker can send a specially-
    crafted SPL search that could change the membership state in a Splunk Search Head Cluster (SHC) through a
    Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), potentially leading to the removal of the captain or a member of the
    SHC.The vulnerability requires the attacker to phish the administrator-level victim by tricking them into
    initiating a request within their browser. The attacker should not be able to exploit the vulnerability at
    will. (CVE-2025-20321)
