Data disclosure via undisclosed Core flaw
Published Jan 20, 2021 · Updated Sep 26, 2024
A Core flaw in Oracle VM VirtualBox before 6.1.18 allows local users with high privileges to read all data accessible to VirtualBox. Oracle has not published the defective operation or input path within the Core component. Exploitation requires a high-privilege host logon and crosses a security boundary, exposing hypervisor-accessible data without altering it or interrupting service.
