Virtualization services provider VMware has alerted customers to the existence of a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for a recently patched security flaw in Aria Operations for Logs. Tracked as CVE-2023-34051 (CVSS score: 8.1), the high-severity vulnerability relates to a case of authentication bypass that could lead to remote code execution. "An unauthenticated, malicious actor can inject files

VMWare Aria Operations for Networks (vRealize Network Insight) versions 6.0.0 through 6.10.0 do not randomize the SSH keys on virtual machine initialization. Since the key is easily retrievable, an attacker can use it to gain unauthorized remote access as the "support" (root) user.

The reference count changes made as part of the CVE-2023-33951 and CVE-2023-33952 fixes exposed a use-after-free flaw in the way memory objects were handled when they were being used to store a surface. When running inside a VMware guest with 3D acceleration enabled, a local, unprivileged user could potentially use this flaw to escalate their privileges.

VMware Fusion(13.x prior to 13.5) contains a TOCTOU (Time-of-check Time-of-use) vulnerability that occurs during installation for the first time (the user needs to drag or copy the application to a folder from the '.dmg' volume) or when installing an upgrade. A malicious actor with local non-administrative user privileges may exploit this vulnerability to escalate privileges to root on the system where Fusion is installed or being installed for the first time.

VMware Aria Operations for Logs contains a deserialization vulnerability. A malicious actor with non-administrative access to the local system can trigger the deserialization of data which could result in authentication bypass.

CISA and FBI warn the RaaS provider's affiliates are striking critical industries, with more attacks expected to come from additional ransomware groups in the months ahead.

The AvosLocker ransomware gang has been linked to attacks against critical infrastructure sectors in the U.S., with some of them detected as recently as May 2023. That's according to a new joint cybersecurity advisory released by the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) detailing the ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation's

SnapCenter Plugin for VMware vSphere versions 4.6 prior to 4.9 are susceptible to a vulnerability which may allow authenticated unprivileged users to modify email and snapshot name settings within the VMware vSphere user interface.
