The version of VMware vCenter Server installed on the remote host is 6.5 prior to 6.5 U3q. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

- A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in vCenter Server due to the way it handles session tokens.       An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this to gain unauthorized access to the system.       (CVE-2021-21991, CVE-2021-22015)

- An rhttproxy bypass vulnerability exists in vCenter Server due to improper implementation of URI       normalization. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to gain access to internal       endpoints. (CVE-2021-22017)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number. Nessus has also not tested for the presence of a workaround.
