Official description
An issue was discovered in SolarWinds N-Central 12.3.0.670. The sudo configuration has incorrect access control because the nable web user account is effectively able to run arbitrary OS commands as root (i.e., the use of root privileges is not limited to specific programs listed in the sudoers file).
