CVE-2022-22982Network attack vector

Unauthenticated internal service access via SSRF

Published Jul 13, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

SSRF in VMware vCenter Server 7.0 before 7.0 U3f, 6.7 before 6.7 U3r, and 6.5 before 6.5 U3t allows remote attackers to access arbitrary URLs. VMware has not published the affected endpoint or the operation that accepts and retrieves an attacker-controlled URL. Network access to TCP port 443 is sufficient to reach internal services or external URLs through the server, exposing limited response data.
