An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-22272 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: VMware Cloud Director. 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-2024-22272/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-22272/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-22272","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-22272/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-22272","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-289g-wh2w-9hg2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware Cloud Director","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated tenant administrator can accidentally disable their organization, causing a denial of service for active sessions within that scope.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"VMware Cloud Director contains an Improper Privilege Management vulnerability. \n\nAn authenticated tenant administrator for a\n given organization within VMware Cloud Director may be able to \naccidentally disable their organization leading to a Denial of Service \nfor active sessions within their own organization's scope.","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":"Privilege escalation in VMware Cloud Director","id":"CVE-2024-22272","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in VMware Cloud Foundation (ESXi)","id":"CVE-2024-22273"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Spring Cloud Function Web DOS Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-22271"},"products":["VMware Cloud Director"],"published":"2024-06-27","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2024-12-02","vendors":["N/A"]},"summary":"An authenticated tenant administrator can accidentally disable their organization, causing a denial of service for active sessions within that scope.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-22272/"}
