CVE-2026-76268 is a missing-authentication vulnerability in the Patroni REST API on Splunk Enterprise search head cluster members. Critical configuration operations do not require authentication, allowing an attacker with network access to the interface to execute attacker-controlled operating-system commands. Affected releases are Splunk Enterprise 10.4.0–10.4.2 and 10.2.0–10.2.6. The 10.0.x and 9.4.x branches are not affected.

A critical missing-authentication vulnerability in the Patroni REST API on Splunk Enterprise search head cluster members allows attackers with network access to execute operating system commands without credentials or user interaction. It affects the 10.4 branch before 10.4.3 and the 10.2 branch before 10.2.7; versions 10.0.x and 9.4.x are explicitly unaffected. Splunk advisory SVD-2026-1001 recommends upgrading to 10.4.3 or 10.2.7, or later releases. A conditional workaround is to disable the PostgreSQL sidecar and restart Splunk Enterprise, but only when Edge Processor, OpAmp, and SPL2 data pipelines are not used. The content does not establish exploit availability or exploitation in the wild.
Critical missing-authentication vulnerability in the Patroni REST API on Splunk Enterprise search head cluster members, allowing unauthenticated remote OS command execution with Splunk process privileges. CVSS 9.1. Affects 10.4.0–10.4.2 and 10.2.0–10.2.6; 10.0.x and 9.4.x are explicitly unaffected. Fixed in 10.4.3 and 10.2.7. The PostgreSQL sidecar can be disabled and Splunk restarted if Edge Processor, OpAmp, and SPL2 data pipelines are unused. Restricting access to the API is also recommended. The report states no public PoCs and no known active exploitation.
An unauthenticated command-execution vulnerability in Splunk Enterprise caused by missing authentication for critical configuration operations on the Patroni REST API. Exploitation requires network access to that API on a search head cluster member. The advisory identifies versions below 10.4.3 and 10.2.7 as affected; versions 10.0.x and 9.4.x are explicitly unaffected.
A critical missing-authentication vulnerability in the Patroni REST API within Splunk Enterprise allows unauthenticated attackers with network access to a search head cluster member to execute operating-system commands through critical configuration operations. The reported CVSS 3.1 score is 9.8. Fixed versions are 10.4.3 and 10.2.7; versions 10.0.x and 9.4.x are explicitly unaffected. The page's 'Remotely Exploit: No' metadata conflicts with its network-access exploitation description.
