Hi All,

I believe I have disabled all inputs that call on these binaries and scripts (checked using ./splunk cmd btool inputs list) and yet I still get them... can anyone suggest a possible culprit?

There was a bug with Windows modular inputs and the Splunk App for Enterprise Security. They were fixed with the releases of Splunk Enterprise 6.0.5 and 6.1.3, and is marked as fixed in the Enterprise Security 3.1 Release Notes under SOLNESS-4629.

Hi ekost - thanks for that. I should have specified we're running the latest versions of both. I'll log a formal ticket with support today. Thanks again 🙂
