CVE-2025-20369 is an XML External Entity (XXE) injection vulnerability affecting Splunk Enterprise versions prior to 9.4.4, 9.3.6, and 9.2.8, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions prior to 9.3.2411.108, 9.3.2408.118, and 9.2.2406.123. A low-privileged authenticated user who does not hold the admin or power roles can inject malicious XML external entity content through the dashboard tab label field. The flaw arises from unsafe handling of XML input in that field, allowing attacker-controlled XML entity processing. Reported impact is limited to the potential for denial of service.
