Title: VMware Products Directory Traversal Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
VMware is a set of server-emulation applications available for several platforms.
Multiple VMware products are prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because they fail to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Attackers on the same subnetwork may use a specially crafted request to retrieve arbitrary files from the host operating system.
A remote attacker could exploit the vulnerability using directory-traversal characters ('../') to access arbitrary files that contain sensitive information that could aid in further attacks.
