SolarWinds Platform was susceptible to the Deserialization of Untrusted Data. This vulnerability allows a remote adversary with Orion admin-level account access to SolarWinds Web Console to execute arbitrary commands.
CVE-2022-38108
Score elevated to 8.5 because EPSS predicts 70% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 0.7% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 7.2 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 70%
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
