CVE-2024-23468

File deletion and disclosure via unvalidated path

Published Jul 17, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Path traversal in SolarWinds Access Rights Manager 2023.2.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to delete files and read sensitive data. The deleteTransferFile method passes a user-supplied path to file operations without properly validating that the path remains in an allowed location. Exploitation requires adjacent-network reachability but no authentication, and file operations execute in the context of a highly privileged domain user.
