Published May 21, 2024 · Updated Mar 27, 2025

Partial file read in VMware vCenter Server 7.0 before 7.0 U3q and 8.0 before 8.0 U2b allows remote authenticated users to read sensitive data. The flaw is reached through com.vmware.rvc, which exposes portions of arbitrary files, but the failing internal operation is not public. Administrative appliance-shell access and credentials able to run com.vmware.rvc are required; Cloud Foundation 4.x and 5.x are affected through vCenter.
