Synopsis

A virtualization appliance installed on the remote host is affected by a cross-site request forgery vulnerability.

Description

The version of VMware vCloud Director installed on the remote host is 5.1.x prior to 5.1.3. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site request forgery (XSRF) vulnerability due to an error in HTTP session management. A remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to follow specially crafted link, to cause the user to be logged out.
Note that the victimized user would be able to immediately log back into the system.

Solution

Upgrade to VMware vCloud Director version 5.1.3 or later.
