Tenant-scoped denial of service via undisclosed authorization flaw

Published Jun 27, 2024 · Updated Dec 2, 2024

Improper privilege management in VMware Cloud Director 10.4.x and 10.5.x allows remote authenticated users to interrupt active sessions. Broadcom has not published the affected component or the authorization operation that permits a tenant administrator to disable an organization. Tenant-administrator access is required, and the resulting service interruption is confined to active sessions in that administrator’s organization.
