CVE-2023-46214 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability affecting Splunk Enterprise versions below 9.0.7 and 9.1.2. The flaw stems from insufficient sanitization of user-supplied extensible stylesheet language transformations (XSLT), allowing an attacker to upload malicious XSLT and execute arbitrary code on the Splunk instance. With a CVSS score of 8.8 (High) and an EPSS score indicating high exploitability, this vulnerability presents a significant risk due to its network-based attack vector and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not currently on the CISA KEV catalog or Hot List, a Metasploit module exists for authenticated exploitation, and its FAUCET Risk Score of 99/100 underscores its severity, despite limited public discussion or media coverage.
