Administrative API access via manipulated URL
Published Apr 1, 2021 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
Authentication bypass in VMware Carbon Black Cloud Workload Appliance 1.0.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to obtain an administrative API token. The administrative interface accepts a manipulated URL that skips authentication and returns a valid token for the administration API. Network access to the administrative interface is required; the token permits viewing and altering appliance configuration settings.
