CISA added it to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 3 Nov 2021, 345 days after it was published. It affects VMware Multiple Products. If you run it, CISA's required action is: Apply updates per vendor instructions.

What it is

VMware Workspace One Access, Access Connector, Identity Manager, and Identity Manager Connector contain a command injection vulnerability. An attacker with network access to the administrative configurator on port 8443 and a valid password for the configurator administrator account can execute commands with unrestricted privileges on the underlying operating system.

What to do

1. Check whether you run it. Look for Multiple Products in your asset inventory, including appliances and cloud images. Stack check lists every exploited VMware CVE at once.
2. Apply the fix. Apply updates per vendor instructions.
3. If you can't patch today, take the affected service off the internet or restrict who can reach it, and check its logs for signs of compromise since 23 Nov 2020.
4. Get told next time. Email alerts when CISA adds a CVE for VMware.
