CVE-2022-38113Network attack vector

Unauthenticated version disclosure via server response headers

Published Nov 23, 2022 · Updated Apr 25, 2025

Information disclosure in SolarWinds Security Event Manager before 2022.4 allows remote attackers to read build and service versions. The server places its build identifier and service versions in response headers returned without authentication. Any network-reachable requester can obtain these identifiers without credentials; the published impact is limited to disclosure, with no data modification or service interruption.
