**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) versions 11.1.468 through 12.0.3074
**Description**
The issue is related to the failure to protect the web page structure, allowing a remote attacker to perform a cross-site scripting attack. This can be exploited through various components, including `logViewer.iwc`, `centralManage.cen`, `userAdministration.iwc`, `database.iwc`, `alertManagement.iwc`, `eventAnnotations.iwc`, and `central.cen`.
**Recommendations**
For versions 11.1.468 through 12.0.3074, consider disabling access to the affected components, such as `logViewer.iwc`, `centralManage.cen`, `userAdministration.iwc`, `database.iwc`, `alertManagement.iwc`, `eventAnnotations.iwc`, and `central.cen`, until a patch is available. Restrict the use of these components to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
