VMware Workstation 5.5.3 34685, when the "Enable copy and paste to and from this virtual machine" option is enabled, preserves clipboard data on the guest operating system after it was deleted on the host operating system, which might allow local users to read clipboard contents by moving the focus back to the host operating system.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This issue concerns clipboard isolation in VMware Workstation 5.5.3 build 34685. When clipboard sharing is enabled, data deleted from the host clipboard may remain readable inside the guest. Business risk is mainly accidental disclosure of copied secrets, credentials, or sensitive text to local guest users. Exposure is most likely on legacy VMware Workstation 5.5.3 build 34685 systems with host-guest copy and paste enabled, especially shared or multi-user guest environments. Modern versions are not identified in the provided sources. Treat as low urgency unless legacy VMware Workstation is still used with sensitive host data or shared guests. Prioritize validation in environments handling credentials, customer data, or administrator sessions. Mitigation focus: Check VMware guidance for affected-version confirmation and updates.; Disable host-guest clipboard sharing where it is not required.; Avoid copying credentials or sensitive data into shared VM sessions..
