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-2024-22255 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2024-22255/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-22255/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-22255","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-22255/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-22255","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3hfr-246f-6fxv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware virtualization software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A malicious actor with administrative access to a virtual machine can leak memory from the vmx process via the UHCI USB controller.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_foundation","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"esxi","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"fusion","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"workstation","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion contain an information disclosure vulnerability in the UHCI USB controller. A malicious actor with administrative access to a virtual machine may be able to exploit this issue to leak memory from the vmx process.","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":"Information disclosure vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-22255","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:cloud_foundation","products":["vmware:cloud_foundation","vmware:esxi","vmware:fusion","vmware:workstation"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in VMware Cloud Director","id":"CVE-2024-22256"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Out-of-bounds write vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-22254"},"products":["VMware Cloud Foundation","VMware ESXi","VMware Fusion","VMware Workstation"],"published":"2024-03-05","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"VMware vCenter Server Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2024-38812","kev_date_added":"2024-11-20","published":"2024-09-17"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Broadcom VMware vCenter Server Out-of-bounds Write","id":"CVE-2024-37079","kev_date_added":"2026-01-23","published":"2024-06-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"VMware Workspace ONE Access and Identity Manager Server-Side Template Injection","id":"CVE-2022-22954","kev_date_added":"2022-04-14","published":"2022-04-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"VMware vCenter Server File Upload","id":"CVE-2021-22005","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"VMware vCenter Server Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2021-21985","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-05-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"VMware Server Side Request Forgery in vRealize Operations Manager API","id":"CVE-2021-21975","kev_date_added":"2022-01-18","published":"2021-03-31"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"VMware vCenter Server Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-21972","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-02-24"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-08-26","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A malicious actor with administrative access to a virtual machine can leak memory from the vmx process via the UHCI USB controller.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-22255/"}
