CVE-2022-36965Network attack vector

Stored and DOM XSS via unsanitized QoE input

Published Sep 30, 2022 · Updated May 20, 2025

Cross-site scripting in SolarWinds Platform before 2022.3.0 allows remote attackers to execute script through crafted QoE input. The QoE application accepts insufficiently sanitized field input, allowing it to reach stored and DOM-based browser execution paths; SolarWinds has not disclosed the exact field or code path. No authentication is required to supply the input, but exploitation requires a user to open affected content and enables browser-context data access or modification.
