Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2022-22948 in the wild since at least 17 Jul 2024.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Cloud Foundation. 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-2022-22948/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-22948/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-22948","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-22948/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-22948","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mgm9-ffv2-wpc6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware vCenter Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A malicious actor with non-administrative access can exploit improper file permissions to gain access to sensitive information in vCenter Server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_foundation","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"vcenter_server","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"The vCenter Server contains an information disclosure vulnerability due to improper permission of files.
