critical Nessus Plugin ID 174925

Language:

Synopsis

A log management application running on the remote host is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

The VMware Aria Operations for Logs (formerly VMware vRealize Log Insight) application running on the remote host is 8.10.2. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability caused by insecure deserialization. An unauthenticated, malicious actor with network access to VMware Aria Operations for Logs can exploit this to execute arbitrary code as root.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to VMware Aria Operations for Logs version 8.12 or later.
