DescriptionCVE.org

Vulnerability in the Oracle VM VirtualBox product of Oracle Virtualization (component: Core). The supported version that is affected is 7.2.8. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows high privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. While the vulnerability is in Oracle VM VirtualBox, attacks may significantly impact additional products (scope change). Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in unauthorized read access to a subset of Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 3.2 (Confidentiality impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N).

AnalysisAI

Oracle VM VirtualBox 7.2.8 Core component exposes a local information disclosure path exploitable by a high-privileged attacker already logged on to the host infrastructure, resulting in unauthorized read access to a subset of VirtualBox-accessible data. The CVSS scope change (S:C) indicates the read impact may cross virtualization boundaries and affect additional products - such as guest VMs - beyond the VirtualBox process itself. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires two confirmed prerequisites derived directly from the CVSS vector and Oracle's description: (1) local logon access to the operating system host where Oracle VM VirtualBox 7.2.8 is installed (AV:L - no remote network path exists), and (2) a high-privileged account on that host (PR:H - standard unprivileged or low-privileged users cannot exploit this). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 3.2 (Low) accurately reflects the highly constrained exploitation surface: the attacker must already hold high-privileged local access (AV:L/PR:H), which limits the realistic attacker population to compromised administrator accounts or malicious insiders on the VirtualBox host. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has compromised a high-privileged administrator account on the VirtualBox 7.2.8 host - either through credential theft or lateral movement - invokes a flaw in the Core component to read a subset of VirtualBox-accessible memory or configuration data that extends across the guest boundary, potentially accessing data belonging to co-resident guest VMs. Because the attack requires existing high-privilege local access (not a remote unauthenticated path), this scenario is most relevant in shared infrastructure or cloud-adjacent environments where multiple tenants or workloads run under the same VirtualBox host. …
Remediation Apply Oracle's June 2026 Critical Security Patch Update as directed at https://www.oracle.com/security-alerts/cspujun2026.html. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
