#VMWARE VCENTER STANDARD PATCH#
This is the second time in the last four months that VMware issued a patch for a critical flaw affecting vCenter/vSphere. These flaws will likely be valuable to attackers, particularly affiliates of ransomware groups, that have already compromised a network through other means. The remaining vulnerabilities vary, from privilege escalation and denial of service to information disclosure and path traversal vulnerabilities. While the remainder of the vulnerabilities patched in today’s release aren’t critical, they are split evenly between Important and Moderate severity flaws. In its blog post, VMware notes that this vulnerability exists in vCenter Server “regardless of the configuration settings,” which makes this exploitable by default in affected vCenter Server installations. Successful exploitation would result in remote code execution on the host. An unauthenticated attacker capable of accessing port 443 over the same network or directly from the internet could exploit a vulnerable vCenter Server by uploading a file to the vCenter Server analytics service. Of the 19 vulnerabilities, only CVE-2021-22005 was assigned a severity of Critical.ĬVE-2021-22005 is a file upload vulnerability in the vCenter Server. In addition to publishing the security advisory, VMware published a blog post and a Questions and Answers post addressing some foundational questions about the advisory. VCenter Server Analytics service denial-of-service Vulnerability VCenter Server information disclosure vulnerability VCenter Server VPXD denial of service vulnerability VCenter Server VAPI multiple denial of service vulnerabilities VCenter Server denial of service vulnerability VCenter Server local information disclosure vulnerability VCenter Server XML parsing denial-of-service vulnerability VCenter Server file deletion vulnerability VCenter Server authenticated code execution vulnerability VCenter Server rhttpproxy bypass vulnerability VCenter Server reflected XSS vulnerability VCenter Server file path traversal vulnerability VCenter Server unauthenticated API information disclosure vulnerability
