medium Nessus Plugin ID 299666

Synopsis

The remote host has an installation of SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer that is affected by a hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) installation on the remote host is prior to 2025.3. It is, therefore, affected by a hard-coded cryptographic key vulnerability.

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow a machine-in-the-middle (MITM) attack against users. Exploitation requires additional software not installed by default, local access to the server, and administrator level privileges on the host.

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