Discussion

VMware WebAccess URL Forwarding Vulnerability

VMware WebAccess is prone to a URL forwarding vulnerability.

An attacker may forward web requests through the application by sending a specially crafted request to the computer or by enticing a user into following malicious URI. This may facilitate attacks against users, allow bypass of security restrictions, and aid in carrying out other attacks.

The following applications are vulnerable:

- Virtual Center 2.5 with WebAccess
- Virtual Center 2.0.2 with WebAccess
- VMware Server 2.0.2 with WebAccess
- ESX 3.5 with WebAccess
- ESX 3.0.3 with WebAccess

This issue was originally published as part of BID 39037 (VMware WebAccess Multiple Vulnerabilities). It is being assigned a new BID to better document the issue.
