Splunk and SolarWinds this week released patches for multiple vulnerabilities, including flaws leading to code execution, privilege escalation, denial-of-service (DoS), and information disclosure.

On Wednesday, Splunk rolled out security updates for Splunk Enterprise and SOAR to resolve dozens of security defects, including multiple flaws in third-party packages.

Splunk Enterprise versions 9.4.16, 10.0.11, 10.2.8, and 10.4.4 were rolled out with fixes for 16 CVEs in the product’s code, including CVE-2026-76299 and CVE-2026-76302, critical-severity improper access control and improper neutralization issues.
