CVE-2023-33225Network attack vector

Administrative command execution via undisclosed comparison flaw

Published Jul 26, 2023 · Updated Jul 9, 2025

Incorrect comparison in SolarWinds Platform 2023.2.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users with console administration to run SYSTEM commands. SolarWinds has not published the affected component, the attacker-controlled value, or the comparison operation that permits command execution. Administrative access to the web console is required, and successful exploitation runs commands with full host-level SYSTEM privileges.
