Over the last few days, third parties and the media publicly reported on a malware, now referred to as SUPERNOVA. Based on our investigation, this malware could be deployed through an exploitation of a vulnerability in the Orion Platform. Like other software companies, we seek to responsibly disclose vulnerabilities in our products to our customers while also mitigating the risk that bad actors seek to exploit those vulnerabilities by releasing updates to our products that remediate these vulnerabilities before we disclose them.

The SUPERNOVA malware consisted of two components. The first was a malicious, unsigned webshell .dll “app_web_logoimagehandler.ashx.b6031896.dll” specifically written to be used on the SolarWinds Orion Platform. The second is the utilization of a vulnerability in the Orion Platform to enable deployment of the malicious code. The vulnerability in the Orion Platform has been resolved in the latest updates.
