Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-20888 exists.\n\nAffected product: Aria Operations for Networks (Formerly vRealize Network Insight). 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-2023-20888/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20888/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-20888","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20888/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-20888","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pv9w-3hhv-xhxr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware Aria Operations","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers with member credentials can achieve remote code execution via deserialization in VMware Aria Operations for Networks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"vrealize_network_insight","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-502","name":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data"}],"description":"Aria Operations for Networks contains an authenticated deserialization vulnerability. A malicious actor with network access to VMware Aria Operations for Networks and valid 'member' role credentials may be able to perform a deserialization attack resulting in remote code execution.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2023/CVE-2023-20888.yaml","stars":null,"title":"VMware Aria Operations for Networks - Remote Code Execution"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Deserialization in Aria Operations for Networks (Formerly vRealize Network Insight)","id":"CVE-2023-20888","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"deserialization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in Aria Operations for Networks (Formerly vRealize Network Insight)","id":"CVE-2023-20889"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Vmware Aria Operations for Networks Command Injection","id":"CVE-2023-20887"},"products":["Aria Operations for Networks (Formerly vRealize Network Insight)"],"published":"2023-06-07","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in VMware vRealize Network Insight (vRNI)","id":"CVE-2022-31702","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Command injection in Aria Operations for Networks (Formerly vRealize Network Insight)","id":"CVE-2023-20889","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-07"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-01-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers with member credentials can achieve remote code execution via deserialization in VMware Aria Operations for Networks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-20888/"}
