CVE-2024-22240Network attack vector

Authenticated local file disclosure via undisclosed mechanism

Published Feb 6, 2024 · Updated May 15, 2025

Local file read in VMware Aria Operations for Networks 6.x allows remote authenticated users with admin privileges to access sensitive data. VMware has not published the affected component, request parameter, file-selection logic, or other mechanism that exposes local files. Administrative access to the network-facing service is required, and the documented consequence is disclosure only, with no reported file modification or service interruption.
