AlienVault OTX Vulnerabilities

AlienVault OTX Malware

The vCenter Server contains a privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious actor with network access to vCenter Server may trigger this vulnerability to escalate privileges to root by sending a specially crafted network packet.

CVE-2024-38813 is a vulnerability identified in VMware vCenter Server versions 7.0 and 8.0 that allows privilege escalation to root via a network-based attack. The root cause is an improper check for dropped privileges (CWE-273), which means the software fails to correctly verify whether a process has relinquished elevated privileges before performing sensitive operations. An attacker with network access can send a specially crafted packet to the vCenter Server, triggering this flaw and gaining root-level privileges. This vulnerability impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability by potentially allowing full control over the virtualization management platform. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 indicates a high-severity issue, with attack vector being network (AV:N), requiring high attack complexity (AC:H), low privileges (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and unchanged scope (S:U). The vulnerability is particularly dangerous because vCenter Server is a critical component in managing virtualized environments, and root access could lead to widespread compromise of virtual machines and underlying infrastructure. Although no public exploits are known yet, the lack of patches increases urgency for defensive measures. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-273 (Improper Check for Dropped Privileges) and CWE-250 (Execution with Unnecessary Privileges), highlighting the failure to enforce proper privilege boundaries. Given the central role of vCenter Server in enterprise virtualization, exploitation could facilitate lateral movement, data exfiltration, and disruption of services.
