Unauthenticated request access via misconfigured security filter
Published Nov 12, 2022 · Updated May 1, 2025
Authentication bypass in VMware Hyperic Server 5.8.6 allows remote attackers to evade authentication requirements via crafted requests. A misconfigured security filter fails to enforce authentication on some server requests, but the affected routes and filter rules are undisclosed. Network access to Hyperic Server is sufficient; the public advisory establishes access-control bypass but does not identify the operations exposed.
