CVE-2022-29244low · fixedCVSS 3.1

Packing does not respect root-level ignore files in workspaces

### Impact `npm pack` ignores root-level `.gitignore` & `.npmignore` file exclusion directives when run in a workspace or with a workspace flag (ie. `--workspaces`, `--workspace=<name>`). Anyone who has run `npm pack` or `npm publish` with workspaces, as of [v7.9.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.9.0) & [v7.13.0](https://github.com/npm/cli/releases/tag/v7.13.0) respectively, may be affected and have published files into the npm registry they did not intend to include. ### Patch - Up

CVE-2018-7408low · fixedCVSS 3

Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource in NPM

An issue was discovered in an npm 5.7.0 2018-02-21 pre-release (marked as "next: 5.7.0" and therefore automatically installed by an "npm upgrade -g npm" command, and also announced in the vendor's blog without mention of pre-release status). It might allow local users to bypass intended filesystem access restrictions because ownerships of /etc and /usr directories are being changed unexpectedly, related to a "correctMkdir" issue.

CVE-2013-4116info · fixed

Local Privilege Escalation in npm

Affected versions of `npm` use predictable temporary file names during archive unpacking. If an attacker can create a symbolic link at the location of one of these temporary file names, the attacker can arbitrarily write to any file that the user which owns the `npm` process has permission to write to, potentially resulting in local privilege escalation. ## Recommendation Update to version 1.3.3 or later.

npm CLI exposing sensitive information through logs

Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.14.6 are vulnerable to an information exposure vulnerability through log files. The CLI supports URLs like `<protocol>://[<user>[:<password>]@]<hostname>[:<port>][:][/]<path>`. The password value is not redacted and is printed to stdout and also to any generated log files.

npm Vulnerable to Global node_modules Binary Overwrite

Versions of the npm CLI prior to 6.13.4 are vulnerable to a Global node_modules Binary Overwrite. It fails to prevent existing globally-installed binaries to be overwritten by other package installations. For example, if a package was installed globally and created a `serve` binary, any subsequent installs of packages that also create a `serve` binary would overwrite the first binary. This will not overwrite system binaries but only binaries put into the global node_modules directory. This b

README

Splunk MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants to securely search, analyze, and validate Splunk queries with built-in safety guardrails.

Overview

The Splunk MCP Server provides a standardized interface for AI assistants (like Claude, GitHub Copilot, etc.) to interact with Splunk Enterprise or Splunk Cloud. It implements the Model Context Protocol, allowing seamless integration between AI tools and your Splunk data.

Key Features

Smart Search Integration: Execute SPL queries with multiple output formats (JSON, Markdown, CSV, Summary)
Built-in Safety Guardrails: Automatic validation to prevent destructive or resource-intensive queries
Data Protection: Automatic sanitization of sensitive data (credit cards, SSNs)
Dual Transport Support: Both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and stdio transports
Rich Splunk Features: Access indexes, saved searches, and execute complex queries
Docker Ready: Containerized deployment options for both implementations

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables seamless integration between AI assistants and external data sources. It provides:

Standardized Communication: A common protocol for AI assistants to interact with external tools
Security: Built-in authentication and authorization mechanisms
Flexibility: Support for various transport mechanisms (stdio, SSE, WebSocket)
Tool Discovery: Assistants can discover available tools and their capabilities

Available Implementations

This project provides two feature-complete implementations:

Python Implementation

Built with FastMCP framework for simplified development
Async/await architecture for efficient performance
Includes comprehensive test suite and interactive tools
Docker support with management scripts

View Python Documentation

TypeScript Implementation

Full type safety with TypeScript
Built on the official MCP SDK
Compatible with Node.js 18+
Production-ready with compiled JavaScript output

View TypeScript Documentation

Quick Start

Choose your preferred implementation:

Python Quick Start

cd python
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your Splunk credentials
pip install -e .
python server.py

TypeScript Quick Start

cd typescript
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your Splunk credentials
npm install
npm start

Core Capabilities

Available Tools

validate_spl - Validate SPL queries for risks before execution
search_oneshot - Execute blocking searches with immediate results
search_export - Stream large result sets efficiently
get_indexes - List available Splunk indexes with metadata
get_saved_searches - Access saved search configurations
run_saved_search - Execute pre-configured saved searches
get_config - Retrieve server configuration

Safety Features

The server includes intelligent guardrails to protect your Splunk environment:

Risk Scoring: Queries are analyzed and assigned risk scores (0-100)
Configurable Thresholds: Set your own risk tolerance levels
Query Blocking: Dangerous queries are blocked before execution
Performance Protection: Detects resource-intensive patterns
Audit Trail: All queries are validated and logged

Supported Clients

Claude Desktop
Claude Code
VS Code Copilot
Any MCP-compatible client
