## Description

In Splunk AI Toolkit versions below 6.0.0, a user that holds a role with the schedule\_search capability could cause a scheduled search to load and deserialize a model file through the apply search command. The improper access control is possible because Splunk AI Toolkit does not mark the apply search command as risky. For more information see Troubleshoot the AI Toolkit (https://help.splunk.com/en/splunk-enterprise/apply-machine-learning/use-ai-toolkit/5.7.3/troubleshooting-the-ai-toolkit/troubleshoot-the-ai-toolkit) in the Splunk documentation.
