Technical Analysis

The SolarWinds Information Service (SWIS) is vulnerable to RCE by way of a crafted message received through the AMQP message queue. A malicious user that can authenticate to the AMQP service can publish such a crafted message whose body is a serialized .NET object which can lead to OS command execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

In order to authenticate to the AMQP service, a user would need to already have admin access to add a RabbitMQ user, or have recovered the credentials to the orion account that SolarWinds sets up automatically. For that reason, I’ve marked this as “Authenticated” and “Requires elevated access” because the orion account is not any ordinary user.
