Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-23838 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23838/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23838/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-23838","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23838/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-23838","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jg2w-28qh-4f7h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Database Performance Analyzer","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit a directory traversal flaw in SolarWinds DPA to enumerate server folders and access unauthorized files.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"SolarWinds","cpe":[{"product":"database_performance_analyzer","vendor":"solarwinds"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Directory traversal and file enumeration vulnerability which allowed users to enumerate to different folders of the server.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Directory traversal and file enumeration vulnerability: Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) 2023.1","id":"CVE-2023-23838","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"SolarWinds Platform Exposure of Sensitive Information Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-23839"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"No Exception Handling Vulnerability: Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) 2023.1","id":"CVE-2023-23837"},"products":["Database Performance Analyzer"],"published":"2023-04-25","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"No Exception Handling Vulnerability: Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) 2023.1","id":"CVE-2023-23837","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-25"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Sensitive Information Disclosure Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-38112","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-20"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability using SQL Query","id":"CVE-2021-35229","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-21"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"XSS in SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer 2023.2","id":"CVE-2023-33231","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-18"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-19386","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-14"},{"cvss_score":5.6,"headline":"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer Hard-coded Cryptographic Key Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-26398","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-04","vendors":["SolarWinds"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit a directory traversal flaw in SolarWinds DPA to enumerate server folders and access unauthorized files.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23838/"}
