Descriptions

VMware vRealize Log Insight (4.7.x before 4.7.1 and 4.6.x before 4.6.2) contains a vulnerability due to improper authorization in the user registration method. Successful exploitation of this issue may allow Admin users with view only permission to perform certain administrative functions which they are not allowed to perform.

VMware vRealize Log Insight (versiones 4.7.x anteriores a la 4.7.1 y versiones 4.6.x anteriores a la 4.6.2) contiene una vulnerabilidad debido a la autorización incorrecta en el método de registro de usuarios. Su explotación con éxito podría permitir que los usuarios administradores con el permiso "view only" realicen ciertas funciones administrativas que no se les permite realizar.

VMware vRealize Log Insight updates address an authorization bypass vulnerability.
