descriptionThe remote SolarWinds Virtualization Manager server is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to unsafe deserialize calls of unauthenticated Java objects to the Apache Commons Collections (ACC) library. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by sending a specially crafted serialized Java object via the RMI interface, to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application.
