An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2015-2342 exists.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Vcenter Server. 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-2015-2342/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-2342/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-2342","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-2342/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-2342","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w37r-rg6f-g7rh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware vCenter Server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on VMware vCenter Server via the JMX RMI service due to unrestricted MBean registration.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vcenter_server","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The JMX RMI service in VMware vCenter Server 5.0 before u3e, 5.1 before u3b, 5.5 before u3, and 6.0 before u1 does not restrict registration of MBeans, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the RMI protocol.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2013-05-22","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":2,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2013-05-22","kind":"metasploit","ref":"auxiliary/scanner/misc/java_jmx_server","stars":null,"title":"Java JMX Server Insecure Endpoint Code Execution Scanner"},{"date":"2013-05-22","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/multi/misc/java_jmx_server","stars":null,"title":"Java JMX Server Insecure Configuration Java Code Execution"},{"date":"2015-02-17","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"36101","stars":null,"title":"Java JMX - Server Insecure Configuration Java Code Execution (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2342","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:vcenter_server","products":["vmware:vcenter_server"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2015-2343"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2341"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-10-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Broadcom VMware vCenter Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2026-59310","kev_date_added":"2026-08-18","published":"2026-07-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"VMware vCenter Server Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2023-34048","kev_date_added":"2024-01-22","published":"2023-10-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"VMware vCenter Server Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2020-3952","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-04-10"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"VMware vCenter Server Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2021-22017","kev_date_added":"2022-01-10","published":"2021-09-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"vCenter authentication-bypass vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-59309","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in VMware Cloud Foundation","id":"CVE-2024-37080","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-18"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on VMware vCenter Server via the JMX RMI service due to unrestricted MBean registration.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-2342/"}
