The version of Splunk installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SVD-2023-0802 advisory.

  • In Splunk Enterprise versions lower than 9.0.6 and 8.2.12, a malicious actor can send a malformed security assertion markup language (SAML) request to the /saml/acs REST endpoint which can cause a denial of service through a crash or hang of the Splunk daemon. (CVE-2023-40593)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
