Host data disclosure and partial service interruption
Published Sep 15, 2026 · Updated Sep 15, 2026
Information disclosure and denial of service in Oracle VM VirtualBox Core 7.2.16 allow local users to read data and disrupt service. Oracle has not disclosed the defective Core operation or how attacker-controlled input reaches it. Exploitation requires a high-privileged host login and can expose only a subset of VirtualBox-accessible data or cause a partial service interruption.
