Descriptions

VMware Cloud Director 10.0.x before 10.0.0.2, 9.7.0.x before 9.7.0.5, 9.5.0.x before 9.5.0.6, and 9.1.0.x before 9.1.0.4 do not properly handle input leading to a code injection vulnerability. An authenticated actor may be able to send malicious traffic to VMware Cloud Director which may lead to arbitrary remote code execution. This vulnerability can be exploited through the HTML5- and Flex-based UIs, the API Explorer interface and API access.

VMware Cloud Director versiones 10.0.x anteriores a 10.0.0.2, versiones 9.7.0.x anteriores a 9.7.0.5, versiones 9.5.0.x anteriores a 9.5.0.6 y versiones 9.1.0.x anteriores a 9.1.0.4, no manejan apropiadamente la entrada conllevando a una vulnerabilidad de inyección de código. Un actor autenticado puede ser capaz de enviar tráfico malicioso a VMware Cloud Director, lo que puede conllevar a una ejecución de código remota arbitraria. Esta vulnerabilidad puede ser explotada por medio de las interfaces de usuario basadas en HTML5 y Flex, la interfaz del Explorador de la API y el acceso a la API.
