What it is

SolarView Compact contains a command injection vulnerability due to improper validation of input values on the send test mail console of the product's web server.

Why we say that

  • EPSS puts exploitation in the next 30 days at 98%
  • 1 public exploit published
  • CISA's federal remediation deadline (2023-08-03) has passed
  • CVSS 9.8 critical
  • Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue

Every line above comes from a named public source. Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than inventing confidence — see methodology.

What to do

Apply updates per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if updates are unavailable.

Public exploit code

Indexed from Exploit-DB. Presence of code raises urgency; absence does not mean safety.
