The USB service in VMware Workstation 7.0 before 7.0.1 build 227600 and VMware Player 3.0 before 3.0.1 build 227600 on Windows might allow host OS users to gain privileges by placing a Trojan horse program at an unspecified location on the host OS disk.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old local privilege escalation issue in VMware Workstation and VMware Player on Windows. A user already on the host operating system might gain higher privileges by placing a malicious program at an unspecified disk location. The affected versions are very old, so urgency depends on whether legacy VMware desktop products remain installed. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows endpoints or lab systems still running VMware Workstation 7.0 or VMware Player 3.0 below build 227600. Modern deployments are unlikely to be affected unless old installers or unmanaged machines persist. Treat this as a legacy endpoint hygiene issue unless affected VMware versions are found. Prioritize remediation on shared workstations, labs, jump boxes, or administrator-used Windows hosts where local privilege escalation has higher business impact. Mitigation focus: Upgrade VMware Workstation to 7.0.1 build 227600 or later.; Upgrade VMware Player to 3.0.1 build 227600 or later.; Remove unsupported legacy VMware desktop products from Windows hosts..
