VMware vSphere Data Protection (VDP) 5.1, 5.5 before 5.5.9, and 5.8 before 5.8.1 and the proxy client in EMC Avamar Data Store (ADS) and Avamar Virtual Edition (AVE) 6.x and 7.0.x do not properly verify X.509 certificates from vCenter Server SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers, and bypass intended backup and restore access restrictions, via a crafted certificate.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw lets an attacker on the network impersonate a trusted vCenter SSL server to affected backup components. If successful, backup and restore access restrictions could be bypassed. The issue matters most where old VMware VDP or EMC Avamar components still protect sensitive virtual infrastructure. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running VMware VDP 5.1, 5.5 before 5.5.9, 5.8 before 5.8.1, or listed EMC Avamar ADS/AVE proxy clients. Internet exposure is not established by the sources. Treat this as a targeted infrastructure-control risk, not a broad internet emergency. Prioritize if legacy backup systems remain in use, because backup and restore privileges can affect business recovery, data integrity, and privileged infrastructure access. Mitigation focus: Upgrade VMware VDP to a non-affected release identified by VMSA-2015-0002.; Replace or retire unsupported VDP 5.1 deployments.; For EMC Avamar ADS/AVE, apply guidance from ESA-2015-006..
