The version of VMware vCenter Server installed on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:
An information disclosure vulnerability due to plaintext logging of credentials. (CVE-2022-31697)
A denial of service (DoS) vulnerability in the content library service. (CVE-2022-31698)
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.
