The version of VMware Horizon View Client installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 5.4.3. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege escalation vulnerability due to folder permission configuration and unsafe loading of libraries. A local authenticated attacker can exploit this issue to run commands as any user.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
