It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-2099 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Workstation. 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-2008-2099/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2099/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-2099","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2099/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-2099","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5xrc-w5gp-hjw5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware virtualization software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Guest OS users can execute arbitrary code on the host OS via unspecified vectors in VMware Workstation, Player, and ACE.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ace_2","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"vmware_player_2","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"vmware_workstation","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"workstation","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Unspecified vulnerability in VMCI in VMware Workstation 6 before 6.0.4 build 93057, VMware Player 2 before 2.0.4 build 93057, and VMware ACE 2 before 2.0.2 build 93057 on Windows allows guest OS users to execute arbitrary code on the host OS via unspecified vectors.","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":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2099","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:workstation","products":["vmware:workstation"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2100"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2098"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-06-02","related":[{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2098","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-06-02"}],"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":"Guest OS users can execute arbitrary code on the host OS via unspecified vectors in VMware Workstation, Player, and ACE.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2099/"}
