AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Agree with vendor: adjacent-network reachable service (AV:A), no auth/interaction (PR:N/UI:N), deserialization yields full C/I/A code execution; the config gate is a deployment prerequisite, not attacker privilege, so PR stays N.
Primary rating from Vendor (SolarWinds).

SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted was found to be affected by an unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability stemming from deserialization of untrusted data when the application is configured to use a specific communication mode.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated remote code execution in SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (CVSS 8.8) allows attackers on an adjacent network to execute arbitrary code via deserialization of untrusted data, but only when the deployment is configured to use a specific non-default communication mode. Default-configured instances are not exploitable, and the adjacent-network attack vector (AV:A) further narrows the exposed population. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires the SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted deployment to be configured to use a specific (non-default) communication mode named in the advisory; the vulnerable deserialization endpoint only exists in that mode, so default-configured instances are not exploitable. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a genuine high-priority issue but with an important gating caveat. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Vendor-released patch: upgrade to the version referenced in the SolarWinds release notes (HCO 2026.2.3) as detailed in the advisory (https://www.solarwinds.com/trust-center/security-advisories/CVE-2026-28325). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted instances and determine which ones are running the non-default communication mode referenced in the vendor advisory; for any confirmed instance, isolate it on a dedicated, tightly segmented network segment so that only explicitly required hosts can reach it, and confirm no unnecessary adjacent-network paths exist. …
