CVE-2023-33224Network attack vector

Authenticated command execution via late input validation

Published Jul 26, 2023 · Updated Oct 23, 2024

Command execution in SolarWinds Platform before 2023.3 allows remote authenticated users to run commands as NETWORK SERVICE. The UpdateActionsProperties method uses attacker-controlled input before validating it, allowing that input to reach command execution. Access to an administrative Web Console account is required, and successful exploitation runs commands with NETWORK SERVICE privileges.
