The version of VMware vCenter Server installed on the remote host is 7.x prior to 7.0 U3s or 8.x prior to 8.0 U3b. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the VMSA-2024-0019 advisory:
The vCenter Server contains a heap-overflow vulnerability in the implementation of the DCERPC protocol. A malicious actor with network access to vCenter Server may trigger this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted network packet potentially leading to remote code execution. (CVE-2024-38812)
The vCenter Server contains a privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious actor with network access to vCenter Server may trigger this vulnerability to escalate privileges to root by sending a specially crafted network packet. (CVE-2024-38813)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
