What the vulnerability does

01Description

Silver Peak Unity Orchestrator versions prior to 8.9.11+, 8.10.11+, or 9.0.1+ uses HTTP headers to authenticate REST API calls from localhost.

Orchestrator instances that are hosted by customers –on-premise or in a public cloud provider –are affected by this vulnerability.
