Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2024-38813 in the wild since at least 20 Nov 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-2024-38813/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38813/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38813","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38813/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38813","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-66vj-hxh5-x3jh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware vCenter Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A malicious actor with network access can escalate privileges to root on vCenter Server by sending a specially crafted network packet.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_foundation","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"vcenter_server","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-273","name":"Improper Check for Dropped Privileges"},{"id":"CWE-250","name":"Execution with Unnecessary Privileges"}],"description":"The vCenter Server contains a privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious actor with network access to vCenter Server may trigger this vulnerability to escalate privileges to root by sending a specially crafted network packet.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"VMware vCenter Server Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2024-38813","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2024-11-20","dueDate":"2024-12-11","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"vCenter Server","requiredAction":"Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.","vendorProject":"VMware","vulnerabilityName":"VMware vCenter Server Privilege Escalation Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:cloud_foundation","products":["vmware:cloud_foundation","vmware:vcenter_server"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in VMware HCX","id":"CVE-2024-38814"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"VMware vCenter Server Heap-Based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2024-38812"},"products":["VMware Cloud Foundation","VMware vCenter Server"],"published":"2024-09-17","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":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-21","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A malicious actor with network access can escalate privileges to root on vCenter Server by sending a specially crafted network packet.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38813/"}
