CVE-2024-23472Network attack vector

File deletion and disclosure via unvalidated paths

Published Jul 17, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Path traversal in SolarWinds Access Rights Manager 2023.2.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to read and delete arbitrary files. AddGeneratedReport uses a user-supplied path in file operations without proper validation, permitting traversal outside the intended directory. ZDI reports that authentication is unnecessary and operations run as a highly privileged domain user, while SolarWinds describes an authenticated user.
