Descriptions

VMware Horizon View Agents (7.x.x before 7.5.1) contain a local information disclosure vulnerability due to insecure logging of credentials in the vmmsi.log file when an account other than the currently logged on user is specified during installation (including silent installations). Successful exploitation of this issue may allow low privileged users access to the credentials specified during the Horizon View Agent installation.

VMware Horizon View Agents (versiones 7.x.x anteriores a la 7.5.1) contienen una vulnerabilidad de divulgación de información local debido al registro inseguro de credenciales en el archivo vmmsi.log cuando una cuenta diferente a la del usuario que tiene su sesión iniciada actualmente se especifica durante la instalación (incluyendo las instalaciones silenciosas). La explotación exitosa de este problema podría permitir que usuarios con pocos privilegios accedan a las credenciales especificadas durante la instalación de Horizon View Agent.
