The version of VMware vCenter Server installed on the remote host is 6.5 prior to 6.5 U3r or 6.7 prior to 6.7 U3p. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
An arbitrary file read vulnerability exists in the vSphere web client. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via HTTPS, to gain access to sensitive information. (CVE-2021-21980)
A server side request forgery vulnerability exists in the vSAN Web Client plug-in. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via HTTPS, to cause the server to access internal services or access sites outside of vCenter. (CVE-2021-22049)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number. Nessus has also not tested for the presence of a workaround.
