"The version of SolarWinds Serv-U installed on the remote host is prior to 2026.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the solarwinds_serv-u_2026_3 advisory.

  - SolarWinds Serv-U was found to be affected by a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that could lead
    to session hijacking or information disclosure from an administrator account. (CVE-2026-28315)

  - SolarWinds Serv-U is affected by an insecure direct object reference vulnerability that leads to an
    account takeover. User authentication is required. The impact is lower in Windows deployments.
    (CVE-2026-28314)

  - SolarWinds Serv-U is affected by a broken access control vulnerability that allows a domain administrator
    to create system administrator accounts. The impact is lower in Windows deployments. (CVE-2026-28309)

  - SolarWinds Serv-U is affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability that allows a domain administrator
    to escalate their user type to that of a system administrator. The impact is lower in Windows deployments.
    (CVE-2026-28310)

  - SolarWinds Serv-U is affected by an insecure direct object reference (IDOR) vulnerability that can lead to
    SMTP hijacking leading to arbitrary account takeover. The impact is lower in Windows deployments.
    (CVE-2026-28313)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
