Splunk Product Security Announcements
Splunk Product Security Policy
Evaluation:
Splunk maintains a policy of evaluating all potential security vulnerabilities that are discovered internally or externally within two business days of discovery.
Splunk uses the Common Vulnerability Scoring System Version 2 to rate vulnerabilities. CVSSv2 is an industry-standard rating system for security incidents. Scores are calculated using the best available analysis and metrics and are included in all vulnerability announcements.
Fixing:
Splunk maintains the following policy of responsible vulnerability fixing:
- Splunk releases, including maintenance, minor and major releases, will include cumulative fixes for vulnerabilities that are found, verified and able to be fixed within the timeframe of the release.
- Splunk will make reasonable efforts to issue releases to mitigate or fix vulnerabilities for all applicable and supported versions.
- In the case of critical risk, high impact vulnerabilities, Splunk will make all reasonable effort to expedite maintenance releases for all affected versions.
- In the case of critical risk, high impact vulnerabilities, Splunk will make all reasonable effort to supply patches, assuming that patches are a viable stop-gap for customers who cannot otherwise upgrade Splunk.
Disclosure
Splunk maintains the following policy of responsible disclosure:
- Splunk will announce vulnerabilities via www.splunk.com/prodsec and Splunk Product Security Announcements RSS feed.
- Splunk will not publicly announce security vulnerabilities until fixes are publicly available.
- For critical risk, high impact vulnerabilities, Splunk may contact customers that are especially vulnerable in order to recommend mitigations in the case that a fix is not yet available.
- Splunk will not release the exact details of vulnerabilities.
Splunk Product Security Best Practices
Harden all Splunk Instances per Splunk Hardening Standards
