Summary

The Orion NPM product from SolarWinds is susceptible to a remote code execution vulnerability due to the presence of a NetTcpBinding endpoint in the OrionModuleEngine service. This endpoint allows remote, unauthenticated clients to connect and execute publicly exposed methods. An attacker can exploit the InvokeActionMethod method to run malicious commands with SYSTEM privileges, potentially compromising the entire network infrastructure. Organizations using vulnerable versions are strongly advised to implement necessary updates to mitigate this risk.
