Descriptions

VMware Cloud Director Appliance contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in case VMware Cloud Director Appliance was upgraded to 10.5 from
an older version. On an upgraded version of VMware Cloud Director Appliance 10.5, a malicious actor with network access to the appliance can bypass login
restrictions when authenticating on port 22 (ssh) or port 5480 (appliance management console) . This bypass is not present on port 443 (VCD provider
and tenant login). On a new installation of VMware Cloud Director Appliance 10.5, the bypass is not present. VMware Cloud Director Appliance is impacted since it uses an affected version of sssd from the underlying Photon OS. The sssd issue is no longer present in versions of Photon OS that ship with sssd-2.8.1-11 or higher (Photon OS 3) or sssd-2.8.2-9 or higher (Photon OS 4 and 5).

VMware Cloud Director Appliance contiene una vulnerabilidad de omisión de autenticación en caso de que VMware Cloud Director Appliance se haya actualizado a 10.5 desde una versión anterior. En una versión actualizada de VMware Cloud Director Appliance 10.5, un actor malicioso con acceso de red al dispositivo puede eludir las restricciones de inicio de sesión al autenticarse en el puerto 22 (ssh) o el puerto 5480 (consola de administración del dispositivo). Esta omisión no está presente en el puerto 443 (proveedor de VCD e inicio de sesión del inquilino). En una nueva instalación de VMware Cloud Director Appliance 10.5, la omisión no está presente.

VMware Cloud Director version 10.5 suffers from an authentication bypass vulnerability.
