Description

The httplib and urllib Python libraries that Splunk shipped with Splunk Enterprise did not validate certificates using the certificate authority (CA) certificate stores by default in Splunk Enterprise versions before 9.0 and Splunk Cloud Platform versions before 8.2.2203. Python 3 client libraries now verify server certificates by default and use the appropriate CA certificate stores for each library. Apps and add-ons that include their own HTTP libraries are not affected. For Splunk Enterprise, upgrade to version 9.0 or higher andConfigure TLS host name validation for Splunk Python modulesto enable the remediation. At the time of publishing, we have no evidence of exploitation of this vulnerability by external parties.
