        vulnerability:
        
        "Splunk version 5.0.8 addresses the following vulnerability:
        
        * Reflective Cross Site Scripting (SPL-74017, CVE-2014-2578)
        
        At the time of this announcement, Splunk is not aware of any cases

        "Reflective Cross Site Scripting (SPL-74017, CVE-2014-2578)
        
        Description: A reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability was 
        identified in Splunk Web. While this does not have direct impact on
        the Splunk server, an attacker could trick an authenticated Splunk 
        Web user into clicking a maliciously crafted link (which may exist 
        on any external page), enabling the attacker to execute arbitrary 
        web script code in the victim's browser." [1]


MITIGATION

        The vendor recommends updating to the latest version of Splunk to
        correct this issue. [1]
