📄 Description (English)

In Splunk Enterprise versions below 10.2.2, 10.0.5, 9.4.10, and 9.3.11, and Splunk Cloud Platform versions below 10.4.2603.0, 10.3.2512.6, 10.2.2510.10, 10.1.2507.20, 10.0.2503.13, and 9.3.2411.127, a user who holds a role that contains the high-privilege capability `edit_user`could create a specially crafted username that includes a null byte or a non-UTF-8 percent-encoded byte due to improper input validation.<br><br>This could lead to inconsistent conversion of usernames into a proper format for storage and account management inconsistencies, such as being unable to edit or delete affected users.

🤖 AI Executive Summary

Splunk Enterprise and Cloud Platform versions below specified patches contain an input validation vulnerability allowing users with edit_user capability to create malformed usernames using null bytes or non-UTF-8 characters. This leads to account management inconsistencies and potential inability to edit or delete affected user accounts.

📄 Description (Arabic)

تحتوي إصدارات Splunk Enterprise و Cloud Platform على ثغرة في التحقق من صحة المدخلات تسمح للمستخدمين الذين يمتلكون صلاحية edit_user بإنشاء أسماء مستخدمين تحتوي على بايتات فارغة أو أحرف غير UTF-8 مشفرة بنسبة مئوية. يؤدي هذا إلى عدم اتساق في تحويل أسماء المستخدمين وقد يؤدي إلى عدم القدرة على تعديل أو حذف حسابات المستخدمين المتأثرة.

🤖 ملخص تنفيذي (AI)

إصدارات Splunk Enterprise و Cloud Platform التي تحتوي على ثغرة في التحقق من صحة المدخلات تسمح للمستخدمين الذين لديهم صلاحية edit_user بإنشاء أسماء مستخدمين معيبة باستخدام بايتات فارغة أو أحرف غير UTF-8. يؤدي هذا إلى عدم اتساق في إدارة الحسابات وعدم القدرة على تعديل أو حذف حسابات المستخدمين المتأثرة.
