It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2025-22226 in the wild since at least 4 Mar 2025.\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-2025-22226/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22226/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-22226","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22226/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-22226","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-37f6-vjg7-8c6c"],"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 privileges in a virtual machine can exploit an out-of-bounds read to leak memory from the host vmx process.","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":"telco_cloud_infrastructure","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"telco_cloud_platform","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-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion contain an information disclosure vulnerability due to an out-of-bounds read in HGFS. A malicious actor with administrative privileges 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":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2025-22226","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2025-03-04","dueDate":"2025-03-25","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion","requiredAction":"Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.","vendorProject":"VMware","vulnerabilityName":"VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion Information Disclosure Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:cloud_foundation","products":["vmware:cloud_foundation","vmware:esxi","vmware:fusion","vmware:workstation"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"CVE-2025-22227: Authentication Leak On Redirect With Reactor Netty HTTP Client","id":"CVE-2025-22227"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"VMware ESXi Arbitrary Write","id":"CVE-2025-22225"},"products":["ESXi","VMware Cloud Foundation","VMware Fusion","VMware Telco Cloud Infrastructure","VMware Telco Cloud Platform","VMware Workstation"],"published":"2025-03-04","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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-26","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A malicious actor with administrative privileges in a virtual machine can exploit an out-of-bounds read to leak memory from the host vmx process.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22226/"}
