Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one critical risk vulnerability.
EUVDB-ID: #VU49151
Risk: Critical
CVSSv3.1: 9.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:H/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10148
CWE-ID:
CWE-287 - Improper Authentication
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in when processing authentication requests within the SolarWinds Orion API. If an attacker appends a PathInfo
parameter of WebResource.adx
, ScriptResource.adx
, i18n.ashx
, or Skipi18n
to a request to a SolarWinds Orion server, SolarWinds may set the SkipAuthorization flag, which may allow the API request to be processed without requiring authentication. This vulnerability could allow a remote non-authenticated attacker to bypass
authentication and execute API commands which may result in a compromise
of the SolarWinds instance.
Note, this vulnerability is dubbed SUPERNOVA and is being exploited in the wild.
