| Detailed Description |
The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote host is 17.x prior to 17.6.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
- VMware ESXi, and Workstation contain a TOCTOU (Time-of-Check Time-of-Use) vulnerability that leads to an out-of-bounds write. A malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine may exploit this issue to execute code as the virtual machine's VMX process running on the host. (CVE-2025-22224)
- 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. (CVE-2025-22226)
