QID Detection Logic (Unauthenticated):
This QID checks for vulnerable versions of VMware Identity Manager and VMware Workspace ONE Access (Access) with build version on the target.

A malicious actor with network access to port 443 could tamper with host headers to facilitate access to the /cfg web app, in addition a malicious actor could access /cfg diagnostic endpoints without authentication or with network access to port 7443 may attempt user enumeration or brute force the login endpoint, which may or may not be practical based on lockout policy configuration and password complexity for the target account.
