Local disclosure of accessible virtualization data
Published Jan 17, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Information disclosure in Oracle VM VirtualBox Core 6.1 before 6.1.42 and 7.0 before 7.0.6 allows local users to read accessible data. Oracle has not published the affected Core locus or the operation that exposes data to untrusted input. Exploitation requires a low-privileged logon on a Windows host, and the resulting confidentiality impact can cross a security scope.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=* <6.1.42
- Affected versionversion=* <7.0.6
