Stored XSS vulnerabilities (CVE-2024-38832, CVE-2024-38833, CVE-2024-38834) let attackers with editing permissions inject harmful scripts into views, email templates, and cloud provider settings. These scripts can run when other users access those parts of the application.
Vulnerabilities affect VMware Aria Operations versions 8.x up to 8.18.1, as well as VMware Cloud Foundation versions 4.x and 5.x that include it.
Patches Released:
VMware has issued patches for vulnerabilities, and users should update to version 8.18.2 of VMware Aria Operations to fix all five issues. Since there are no workarounds, it’s important for organizations to apply the patches promptly.
VMware has recognized several security researchers, including those from MoyunSec Vlab, Bing, and the Michelin CERT team, for responsibly reporting vulnerabilities.
