An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2006-5990 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5990/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5990/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-5990","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5990/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-5990","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jr99-r38w-q3wj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"VMware VirtualCenter client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"VMware VirtualCenter client fails to verify server certificates, allowing man-in-the-middle attacks to spoof servers and intercept data.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"virtualcenter","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"VMWare VirtualCenter client 2.x before 2.0.1 Patch 1 (Build 33643) and 1.4.x before 1.4.1 Patch 1 (Build 33425), when server certificate verification is enabled, does not verify the server's X.509 certificate when creating an SSL session, which allows remote malicious servers to spoof valid servers via a man-in-the-middle attack.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5990","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5991"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-5989"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-11-21","related":[{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3514","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-08-13"},{"cvss_score":2.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4278","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-06"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"VMware VirtualCenter client fails to verify server certificates, allowing man-in-the-middle attacks to spoof servers and intercept data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-5990/"}
