SolarWinds patched two unauthenticated Observability Self-Hosted RCE bugs; sources disagree on whether 2026.2.3 is affected.

SolarWinds patched two unauthenticated remote code execution flaws in Observability Self-Hosted, CVE-2026-28324 (CVSS 9.8) and CVE-2026-28325 (CVSS 8.8). SecurityWeek describes CVE-2026-28324 as an insufficient integrity check on non-default, non-secure configurations and CVE-2026-28325 as deserialization of untrusted data in a specific communication mode. SecurityWeek says both affect versions through 2026.2.2 and are fixed in 2026.2.3, while WIRED says they affect all versions up to 2026.2.3. SolarWinds told SecurityWeek none of these defects are known to be exploited and credited Kai Huang of Armadin for the Observability reports. SecurityWeek also reports a separate recent fix for CVE-2026-28326 (CVSS 8.8), a hardcoded static key in Access Rights Manager through version 2026.2, likewise not known to be exploited. WIRED’s headline refers to an OpenAI agent and Australia’s health service, but its body only covers the SolarWinds patches.

Key facts
  • CVE-2026-28324 (CVSS 9.8) is an unauthenticated RCE from an insufficient integrity check on non-default, non-secure Observability Self-Hosted configurations.
  • CVE-2026-28325 (CVSS 8.8) is an unauthenticated RCE from deserialization of untrusted data when a specific communication mode is used.
  • SecurityWeek: both Observability flaws affect all versions through 2026.2.2 and are fixed in 2026.2.3.
  • WIRED: the same two flaws affect all versions up to 2026.2.3, disagreeing with SecurityWeek on whether 2026.2.3 is the fix or still affected.
  • SolarWinds says the Observability flaws are not known to be exploited and credited Kai Huang of Armadin.
  • SecurityWeek also notes CVE-2026-28326 (CVSS 8.8), a hardcoded static key in Access Rights Manager through version 2026.2, which SolarWinds says is not known to be exploited.
