CVE-2026-28321 is a broken access control vulnerability in SolarWinds Serv-U affecting version 15.5.4 HF1 and earlier on Linux and Windows. Weak access checks allow a user with domain administrator privileges in Serv-U to perform arbitrary file read and write operations. On Linux, this access can be leveraged to escalate privileges further and execute code as root. The issue is rated critical and is most severe on Linux deployments, while the impact is lower on Windows installations.
