Is Splunk UF vulnerable to SVD-2022-0502 ??

The advisory (https://www.splunk.com/en_us/product-security/announcements/svd-2022-0502.html) talks about Splunk Enterprise, but makes no mention of the Universal forwarder.

Since UF has many of the same API features as Enteprise, and I do see verboseLoginFailMsg = true when running the btool utility, my assumption is that the UF is also vulnerable.

Can someone confirm:

1. If my assumption is correct

2. If the same mitigation can be performed (so we can use deployment server to resolve)

3. Which version of UF is not vulnerable.

 

Thanks,

Gord T.

Seeing a setting in btool output does not mean that setting applies to the local instance.  Btool merely shows what is in the local .conf files.  UFs will ignore settings that don't apply to it.

This vulnerability doesn't apply to the admin role, and since a UF typically only has the admin user defined, the cited vulnerability doesn't apply.
