SolarWinds Orion is an IT performance monitoring platform

SolarWinds Orion is affected with Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability
Affected Versions:
SolarWinds Orion Platform prior to 2020.2.1
QID Detection Logic (Authenticated):
The QID extracts Solarwinds Orion installation path from registry key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\SolarWinds\Orion\Core", value "InstallPath", then compare file version of "SolarWinds.Orion.Core.BusinessLayer.dll" with patched versions
When registry keys are not accessible, we skip the path extracting, directly check file versions of "%ProgramFiles%\SolarWinds\Orion\SolarWinds.Orion.Core.BusinessLayer.dll" and "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\SolarWinds\Orion\SolarWinds.Orion.Core.BusinessLayer.dll".

Successful exploitation may lead to the Information Disclosure and Escalation of Privileges (takeover of administrator account).
