The version of VMware Fusion installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is 12.0.x prior to 12.2.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion contain a use-after-free vulnerability in the XHCI USB controller. A malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine may exploit this issue to execute code as the virtual machine’s VMX process running on the host. (CVE-2021-22040)
VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion contain a double-fetch vulnerability in the UHCI USB controller. A malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine may exploit this issue to execute code as the virtual machine’s VMX process running on the host. (CVE-2021-22041)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
