CVE-2025-20371 is a high-severity blind server-side request forgery vulnerability in Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud Platform. In affected versions, an unauthenticated attacker can cause the Splunk server to issue HTTP requests to unintended destinations. Available reporting indicates the issue is associated with Distributed Search Peers and insufficient validation or restriction of user-controlled request targets, enabling the server to send outbound requests on the attacker’s behalf. Under the documented exploitation conditions, the forged requests may be performed in the security context of an authenticated high-privileged user, potentially allowing REST API actions against internal Splunk services or other reachable internal resources. Because the SSRF is blind, the attacker does not directly receive the response body, but can still induce server-side interactions with internal or external endpoints.
