Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Attacker must hold an authenticated account on VMware Cloud Foundation Operations (or Aria Operations / Telco Cloud Platform) with privileges to create or modify policies, custom views, or text widgets - these are not default unauthenticated endpoints. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.0 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects a network-reachable attack with low complexity but requiring low-privileged authentication and user interaction - typical of a stored XSS where the victim must view the malicious object. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A low-privileged operator account - obtained via phishing, credential reuse, or insider access - is used to create a custom view, policy, or text widget containing a malicious JavaScript payload. When an administrator subsequently opens that object in the Operations UI, the script executes in the admin's authenticated session and silently issues API calls to modify policies, create accounts, or alter monitored infrastructure configurations. …
