Administrative code execution via crafted file upload
Published Mar 23, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024
File upload in VMware Carbon Black App Control allows remote authenticated users with administrative access to execute code on its Windows server. VMware identifies the administration interface as the upload locus but has not disclosed the affected endpoint or the validation operation that accepts the crafted file. Exploitation requires network access plus an administrative App Control account and executes attacker-supplied code on the AppC Server host.
