TA-trackme-lookupmonitor

Generative custom command used by TrackMe to monitor lookups: discovers CSV file based lookups and KVstore based lookups, reads the actual filesystem modification time of CSV files and counts records efficiently. Deployed on the search head where the lookups live, including remote search heads through TrackMe remote accounts.

[ Future Failure Summary ]

Future failures are scheduled to become cloud vetting failures, but do not currently block validation.

check_admin_external_restmap_conf_python_required

Check that Python handlers for the Extensible Administration Interface (EAI) define python.required.
File: default/restmap.conf 
5Stanza [admin_external:ta_trackme_lookupmonitor_settings] does not define python.required. Option python.required is required for REST handlers with handlertype set to 'python'. Please update your app to be compatible with Python 3.13 and set python.required to '3.13'.

[ Warning Summary ]

Warnings are non-blocking concerns. But they are strongly recommended to be fixed.

check_for_vulnerable_javascript_library_usage

Detect usage of JavaScript libraries with known vulnerabilities.
File: appserver/static/js/build/entry_page.js 
Lodash 4.17.23 and earlier are vulnerable to a prototype pollution bypass in _.unset and _.omit. The fix for CVE-2025-13465 only guards against string key members, so attackers can bypass it by passing array-wrapped path segments to delete properties from built-in prototypes including Object.prototype, Number.prototype, and String.prototype.
Lodash _.template is vulnerable to code injection via unsanitized options.imports key names. Untrusted key names are passed to the Function() constructor sink without validation, and the use of assignInWith (which enumerates inherited properties) also means that pre-existing prototype pollution on Object.prototype can flow into the Function() sink and execute arbitrary code at template compilation time.

check_for_splunk_js

Check that SplunkJS is being used.
File: appserver/static/js/build/entry_page.js 
228Splunk has begun gathering telemetry on apps submitted to appinspect, that utilize SplunkJS. Please ignore this warning as it has no impact to your Splunk app. Match: splunkjs/mvc

check_for_splunk_js_header_and_footer_view

Checks that views are not importing splunkjs/mvc/headerview or splunkjs/mvc/footerrview. These are replaced by LayoutView in Splunk 6.5. LayoutView is not backwards compatible to Splunk 6.4 or earlier. Only use LayoutView if you are only targeting Splunk 6.5 or above.
File: appserver/static/js/build/entry_page.js 
228As of Splunk 6.5, this functionality is deprecated and should be removed in futureapp versions. Match: splunkjs/mvc/headerview.

check_for_python_script_existence

Check for the existence of Python scripts, which must be upgraded to be cross-compatible with Python 2 and 3 for Splunk Enterprise 8.0.
707 Python files found. Update these Python scripts to be cross-compatible with Python 2 and 3 for Splunk Enterprise 8.0. See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Python3Migration/AboutMigration for more information. If you've finished your update, please disregard this message.

check_for_possible_threading

Checking for Front-end Libraries This check looks for various front-end libraries inside of apps. As of 03/23/2022, we are looking at Splunk UI, and it's predecessor, SplunkJS. This is currently an INFORMATIONAL Check. Updated on 04/17/2023 This check now is expanded to look for several other critical front-end libraries. 1. We have expanded the regex matching to be more inline with all the UDF Packages https://splunkui.splunk.com/Packages/dashboard-docs/?path=%2FFAQ 2. We have added a few other critical packages (@splunk/react-search, @splunk/react-time-range, @splunk/search-job, @splunk/ui-utils, @splunk/splunk-utils, @splunk/moment) 3. We have expanded the regex matching to be more inline with more of the Visualizations packages.
