The version of VMware vCenter Server installed on the remote host is prior to 7.0 U2d. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
- An unauthenticated API endpoint vulnerability exists in the vCenter Server Content Library. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to perform unauthenticated VM network setting manipulation. (CVE-2021-22011)
- A file deletion vulnerability exists in the VMware vSphere Life-cycle Manager plug-in. A unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to delete non-critical files. (CVE-2021-22018)
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.
