"The version of VMware Tools installed on the remote Windows host is 10.x, which is prior to 11.0.0. It is, therefore,
affected by a race condition which may allow for privilege escalation in the virtual machine where Tools is installed.
An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this to escalate their privileges on a Windows virtual machine.

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