CVE-2024-37081
CVE-2024-37081: Local Privilege Escalation in VMware vCenter Server. This vulnerability allows a non-administrative user to gain root access on the vCenter Server Appliance due to sudo misconfiguration. While the CVSS score is 0, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 50. This is significant because active exploits are available. An attacker can leverage these exploits to escalate privileges, potentially gaining full control of the affected system. The vulnerability poses a critical risk because it can be exploited by local authenticated users, making internal networks more vulnerable. Immediate patching is advised. While the SVRS indicates medium severity, the presence of active exploits increases the urgency of remediation.
