The version of VMware vCenter / vRealize Orchestrator installed on the remote host is 8.x < 8.11.1. It is, therefore, affected by an XML external entity vulnerability. A malicious actor, with non-administrative access to vRealize Orchestrator, may be able to use specially crafted input to bypass XML parsing restrictions leading to access to sensitive information or possible escalation of privileges.
