"The version of open-vm-tools installed on the remote host is prior to 12.1.0-4. It is, therefore, affected by a
vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2114 advisory.

    VMware Tools (12.0.0, 11.x.y and 10.x.y) contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious
    actor with local non-administrative access to the Guest OS can escalate privileges as a root user in the
    virtual machine. (CVE-2022-31676)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
