The version of VMware vCenter Server installed on the remote host is 6.5 prior to 6.5 U3r, 6.7 prior to 6.7 U3p, or 7.0 prior to 7.0 U3d. It is, therefore, affected by an information disclosure vulnerability due to improper permission of files. A malicious actor with non-administrative access to the vCenter Server may exploit this issue to gain access to sensitive information.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number. Nessus has also not tested for the presence of a workaround.
