Security readout for executives and security teams

VMware Horizon View Connection Server had a directory traversal flaw that could let a remote attacker read sensitive information. The affected line is Horizon View 5.x, 6.x, and 7.x before the fixed releases named in VMware's advisory. Exposure is most likely where VMware Horizon View Connection Server is deployed on vulnerable 5.x, 6.x, or 7.x builds, especially if reachable from untrusted networks. The bundle does not provide CPEs or detailed deployment conditions. Treat this as high priority if Horizon View Connection Server is present, because the impact is sensitive information disclosure by a remote attacker. Urgency is lower if no affected versions exist or access is tightly restricted. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Horizon View 5.x to 5.3.7 or later.; Upgrade Horizon View 6.x to 6.2.3 or later.; Upgrade Horizon View 7.x to 7.0.1 or later..
