DescriptionNVD

VMware Cloud Foundation Operations contains multiple stored cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.A malicious actor with privileges to create policies, views or text-widgets may be able to inject scripts to perform administrative actions in VMware Cloud Foundation Operations.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in VMware Cloud Foundation Operations (and the related Aria Operations / Telco Cloud Platform builds) lets an authenticated user who can create policies, views, or text-widgets inject script that executes in the browser of any user who later views the affected object, including administrators. Because the CVSS vector marks Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability as High with Scope:Unchanged, a successful payload effectively lets a low-privileged operator escalate to administrative actions inside the Operations console. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Obtain low-privileged Operations account with authoring rights
Delivery
Create or edit policy, view, or text-widget with embedded script
Exploit
Wait for administrator to open the poisoned object
Execution
Script executes in admin browser session
Persist
Issue privileged API calls as admin
Impact
Modify configuration or exfiltrate monitoring data

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires (1) a valid authenticated account on the VMware Cloud Foundation Operations / Aria Operations / Telco Cloud Platform UI that holds the specific privilege to create or modify policies, views, or text-widgets - this is the PR:L in the CVSS vector and is explicitly called out in the description; (2) a separate higher-privileged user (typically an administrator) must subsequently view the poisoned policy, view, or text-widget in their browser, satisfying the UI:R requirement; and (3) the target deployment must be running an affected build at or below 8.18.7 of VCF Operations 5.x, Aria Operations 8.18.x, or Telco Cloud Platform 5.x. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals point to a credible but conditional risk rather than an internet-facing emergency. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario A user with policy/view/widget authoring rights (for example, a tenant operator or junior SRE) creates or edits a dashboard text-widget and embeds a JavaScript payload in a field that is rendered without sanitization. When an administrator later opens the dashboard or the affected view, the script executes in the admin's authenticated session and silently issues privileged API calls - creating accounts, altering policies, or exfiltrating monitoring data. …
Remediation Apply the fixed build referenced in the Broadcom advisory at https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/SecurityAdvisories/0/37513 - the input data does not include an exact post-8.18.7 fix version, so consult that advisory for the precise patched release for each SKU (VCF Operations, Aria Operations, Telco Cloud Platform) before upgrading. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all VMware Cloud Foundation Operations, Aria Operations, and Telco Cloud Platform deployments; audit which users have permissions to create or modify policies, views, and text-widgets; revoke creation rights for non-administrative accounts. …
