Security readout for executives and security teams
This vulnerability lets a user inside a VMware guest potentially run code on the Windows host or crash it when virtual printing is enabled. The business risk is strongest where untrusted guests run on analyst, developer, lab, or contractor workstations. Exposure is limited to Windows hosts running VMware Workstation Pro or Player 12.x before 12.5.0 with Cortado ThinPrint virtual printing enabled. Hosts without the affected product, version, platform, or feature are not indicated as affected by the bundle. Treat as high priority for workstation virtualization environments that run untrusted guests. The issue crosses the guest-to-host boundary, which can turn a compromised or malicious VM into host compromise or outage. Mitigation focus: Upgrade VMware Workstation Pro or Player 12.x to version 12.5.0 or later.; Disable VMware virtual printing on affected Windows hosts where business workflows allow.; Prioritize systems running untrusted, shared, or internet-sourced guest virtual machines..
