The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) recently added a critical security flaw impacting SolarWinds Web Help Desk software to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, highlighting active exploitation concerns.
CISA identified a hardcoded credential vulnerability in SolarWinds Web Help Desk that enables unauthenticated remote users to access and modify internal functionality, raising severe security implications.
According to security researcher Zach Hanley, the vulnerability permits unauthenticated attackers to read and edit help desk ticket information, including sensitive data like passwords, posing a significant threat.
Following the identification of this critical flaw, Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies must implement the necessary updates by November 5, 2024, to protect their networks from potential breaches.
