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-2023-34039 exists.\n\nAffected product: Aria Operations for Networks. 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-2023-34039/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-34039/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-34039","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-34039/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-34039","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hvfm-xp6c-5fc9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Network monitoring software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass SSH authentication to access the CLI due to weak cryptographic key generation, requiring immediate patching.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"aria_operations_for_networks","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-327","name":"Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm"}],"description":"Aria Operations for Networks contains an Authentication Bypass vulnerability due to a lack of unique cryptographic key generation. A malicious actor with network access to Aria Operations for Networks could bypass SSH authentication to gain access to the Aria Operations for Networks CLI.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2023-08-29","github_poc":5,"max_poc_stars":94,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2023-09-01T16:17:10Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/sinsinology/CVE-2023-34039","stars":94,"title":"VMWare Aria Operations for Networks (vRealize Network Insight) Static SSH key RCE (CVE-2023-34039)"},{"date":"2023-09-03T10:03:36Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Cyb3rEnthusiast/CVE-2023-34039","stars":3,"title":"Here it is, the VMware newest exploit"},{"date":"2023-09-04T03:27:56Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/syedhafiz1234/CVE-2023-34039","stars":1,"title":"CVE-2023-34039"},{"date":"2023-08-29","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/linux/ssh/vmware_vrni_known_privkey","stars":null,"title":"VMWare Aria Operations for Networks (vRealize Network Insight) SSH Private Key Exposure"},{"date":"2023-09-02T07:56:06Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/CharonDefalt/CVE-2023-34039","stars":0,"title":"VMware exploit"},{"date":"2023-11-10T07:23:11Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/adminxb/CVE-2023-34039","stars":0,"title":"exp"},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"javascript/cves/2023/CVE-2023-34039.yaml","stars":null,"title":"VMWare Aria Operations -
