VMware Fusion 12.0.x < 12.2.5 installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host contain a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the USB 2.0 controller (EHCI). A malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine may exploit this issue to execute code as the virtual machine’s VMX process running on the host. (CVE-2022-31705)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
