SolarWinds Orion Platform < 2020.2.4 Multiple Vulnerabilities

critical Nessus Plugin ID 146310

Language:

Synopsis

An application running on the remote host is affected by Multiple Vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the version of SolarWinds Orion Platform is prior to 2020.2.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- The Collector Service in SolarWinds Orion Platform before 2020.2.4 uses MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queue) and doesn't set permissions on its private queues. As a result, remote unauthenticated clients can send messages to TCP port 1801 that the Collector Service will process. Additionally, upon processing of such messages, the service deserializes them in insecure manner, allowing remote arbitrary code execution as LocalSystem. (CVE-2021-25274)

- SolarWinds Orion Platform before 2020.2.4, as used by various SolarWinds products, installs and uses a SQL Server backend, and stores database credentials to access this backend in a file readable by unprivileged users. As a result, any user having access to the filesystem can read database login details from that file, including the login name and its associated password. Then, the credentials can be used to get database owner access to the SWNetPerfMon.DB database. This gives access to the data collected by SolarWinds applications, and leads to admin access to the applications by inserting or changing authentication data stored in the Accounts table of the database. (CVE-2021-25275)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to SolarWinds Orion Platform 2020.2.4 or later.
