NCSC-NL published an advisory covering two vulnerabilities in SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted that allow unauthenticated remote code execution. CVE-2026-28324 (CVSS 9.8) stems from deserialization of untrusted data when a specific communication mode is in use. CVE-2026-28325 (CVSS 8.8) results from insufficient integrity checks, primarily affecting installations that deviate from default configurations and use insecure settings.
Both issues allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code remotely without authentication, making them serious risks for exposed instances. SolarWinds has released updates addressing both vulnerabilities. No in-the-wild exploitation is mentioned in the advisory. Defenders running SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted should apply the vendor updates promptly, review configuration against SolarWinds' hardening guidance, and ensure any non-default or insecure communication settings are remediated.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,433 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
