Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2012-1511 is a cross-site scripting issue in VMware View Manager Portal before version 4.6.1. A remote attacker could use a crafted URL to make the portal render attacker-controlled script or HTML. Business risk is mainly session theft, user impersonation, or misleading portal content if exposed users open malicious links. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running VMware View Manager Portal before 4.6.1, especially if reachable by users through browsers. Internet-facing or partner-accessible portals have higher phishing-driven risk. Prioritize remediation if legacy VMware View portals remain in use or exposed. This is an older vulnerability, but browser-session compromise can still affect remote-access operations and administrator trust. Mitigation focus: Upgrade VMware View to 4.6.1 or a supported fixed release.; Review VMware advisory VMSA-2012-0004 for vendor-specific guidance.; Restrict access to View Manager Portal to trusted networks and users..
