name: Splunk Absolute Path Traversal Using runshellscript
id: 356bd3fe-f59b-4f64-baa1-51495411b7ad

status: production
type: Hunting
data_source: []
description: In Splunk Enterprise versions lower than 8.2.12, 9.0.6, and 9.1.1, an attacker can exploit an absolute path traversal to execute arbitrary code that is located on a separate disk.

how_to_implement: Must have access to internal indexes. Only applies to Splunk on Windows versions.
known_false_positives: The command runshellscript can be used for benign purposes. Analyst will have to review the searches and determined maliciousness specially by looking at targeted script.
