Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2014-8373 affects VMware vCloud Automation Center deployments using the VMRC remote console feature. An authenticated user could gain higher privileges through the “Connect Using VMRC” function. The bundled sources describe VMware product updates for a critical remote privilege escalation issue, but provide limited technical detail here. Exposure is limited to organizations running VMware vCloud Automation Center 6.0.1 through 6.1.1 with VMRC access available to authenticated users. Internet exposure is not established by the sources; internal authenticated user risk is the clearest concern. Prioritize remediation if legacy vCAC is still operating. The issue requires authentication, but privilege escalation in cloud automation tooling can affect administrative control over managed infrastructure. If the product is retired, confirm decommissioning evidence. Mitigation focus: Identify any vCAC 6.0.1 through 6.1.1 deployments.; Apply VMware product updates referenced in VMSA-2014-0013.; Review VMware guidance for version-specific remediation requirements..
