Descriptions

A flaw was found in the CloudForms account configuration when using VMware. By default, a shared account is used that has privileged access to VMRC (VMWare Remote Console) functions that may not be appropriate for users of CloudForms (and thus this account). An attacker could use this vulnerability to view and make changes to settings in the VMRC and virtual machines controlled by it that they should not have access to.

Se ha encontrado un error en la configuración de cuentas CloudForms al emplear VMware. Por defecto, se emplea una cuenta compartida con acceso privilegiado a funciones VMRC (VMWare Remote Console) que tal vez no sean apropiadas para usuarios de CloudForms (y, por lo tanto, esta cuenta). Un atacante podría emplear esta vulnerabilidad para ver y realizar cambios en las opciones de VMRC y de las máquinas virtuales que controla a las que no debería tener acceso.
