Descriptions

SolarWinds Platform was susceptible to the Deserialization of Untrusted Data. This vulnerability allows a remote adversary with Orion admin-level account access to SolarWinds Web Console to execute arbitrary commands.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of SolarWinds Orion Platform. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the BytesToMessage function. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in deserialization of untrusted data. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of SYSTEM.
