Splunk Prior to 5.0.8 Unspecified Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability

Splunk is prone to an unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input before being returned to the user.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in an unsuspecting user's browser in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Versions prior to Splunk 5.0.8 are vulnerable.
