Fixed CVEs
At SolarWinds, we prioritize the swift resolution of CVEs to ensure the security and integrity of our software. In this release, we have successfully addressed the following CVEs.
SolarWinds CVEs
SolarWinds would like to thank our Security Researchers below for reporting on the issue in a responsible manner and working with our security, product, and engineering teams to fix the vulnerability.
CVE-ID | Vulnerability Title | Description | Severity | Credit |
---|---|---|---|---|
CVE-2025-26394 | SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted Open Redirection Vulnerability | SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted is susceptible to an open redirection vulnerability. The URL is not properly sanitized, and an attacker could manipulate the string to redirect a user to a malicious site. The attack complexity is high, and authentication is required. | 4.8 Medium | Shahzin Sajid, Al Sabah Salim, and Shabeer Ali from the QatarEnergyLNG SOC team |
CVE-2025-26395 | SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted DOM based reflective XSS Vulnerability | SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted was susceptible to a XSS vulnerability using one of the fields in the URL that was not properly sanitized. The attack requires authentication using an administrator level account and user interaction is required. | 7.1 High | Shahzin Sajid, Al Sabah Salim, and Shabeer Ali from the QatarEnergyLNG SOC team |
Third-party CVEs
CVE-ID | Vulnerability title | Description | Severity |
---|---|---|---|
CVE-2024-9143 | OpenSSL Denial of Service vulnerability | Use of the low-level GF(2^m) elliptic curve APIs with untrusted explicit values for the field polynomial can lead to out-of-bounds memory reads or writes. Impact summary: Out of bound memory writes can lead to an application crash or even a possibility of a remote code execution, however, in all the protocols involving Elliptic Curve Cryptography that we're aware of, either only "named curves" are supported, or, if explicit curve parameters are supported, they specify an X9.62 encoding of binary (GF(2^m)) curves that can't represent problematic input values. Thus the likelihood of existence of a vulnerable application is low. In particular, the X9.62 encoding is used for ECC keys in X.509 certificates, so problematic inputs cannot occur in the context of processing X.509 certificates. Any problematic use-cases would have to be using an "exotic" curve encoding. The affected APIs include: EC_GROUP_new_curve_GF2m(), EC_GROUP_new_from_params(), and various supporting BN_GF2m_*() functions. Applications working with "exotic" explicit binary (GF(2^m)) curve parameters, that make it possible to represent invalid field polynomials with a zero constant term, via the above or similar APIs, may terminate abruptly as a result of reading or writing outside of array bounds. Remote code execution cannot easily be ruled out. The FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue. | 4.3 Medium |
CVE-2025-22869 | OpenSSH Denial of Service Vulnerability | SSH servers which implement file transfer protocols are vulnerable to a denial of service attack from clients which complete the key exchange slowly, or not at all, causing pending content to be read into memory, but never transmitted. | 7.5 High |

End of support
This version of SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted no longer supports the following platforms and features.
Microsoft Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) schema for High Availability emails and alerts
CDO schema used for handling emails and alerts is no longer supported for SolarWinds High Availability due to the obsolete .NET standard 2.0. Consider using the native SMTP client for High Availability emails and alerts.
Deprecation notice
The following platforms and features are still supported in the current release. However, they will be unsupported in a future release. Plan on upgrading deprecated platforms, and avoid using deprecated features.
Network Atlas
Network Atlas is deprecated as of Orion Platform 2020.2. It is still available and supported in the current release, but will be removed in a future release. Deprecation is an indication that you should avoid expanded use of this feature and formulate a plan to discontinue using the feature. SolarWinds recommends that you start using Intelligent Maps in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console to display maps of physical and logical relationships between entities monitored by the SolarWinds Platform products you have installed.
Starting with 2024.2, you can import Network Atlas maps to Intelligent Maps. See Import maps.
