VMware has fixed a serious flaw in its vCenter Server VMware utility that could have opened the door for hackers to remotely execute code on a vulnerable server. In a press release published Wednesday, Positive Technologies, which discovered and alerted VMware to the bug, said attackers could have exploited the vCenter Server bug to take over unpatched VMware servers and gain access to local network resources.
After security researchers have developed and published proof-of-concept exploit code targeting a critical vCenter remote code execution vulnerability, attackers are now actively scanning for vulnerable Internet-exposed VMware servers. We've detected mass scanning activity targeting vulnerable VMware vCenter servers.
Just one day after VMware announced the availability of patches for a critical vulnerability affecting vCenter Server, hackers have started scanning the internet for vulnerable servers. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2021-21972, affects the vSphere Client component of vCenter Server and it can be exploited by a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges on the operating system that hosts vCenter Server.
