Information disclosure via low-privilege log-file access
Published Aug 9, 2022 · Updated Aug 27, 2025
Information disclosure in VMware Aria Operations before 8.6.4 allows remote authenticated users to read log files over the network. VMware has not published the affected endpoint or the operation that exposes log contents to low-privileged accounts. A low-privileged account with network access is required, and the reported consequence is disclosure of information contained in accessible logs.
