The version of VMware vCloud Director installed on the remote host is 5.1.x prior to 5.1.3. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site request forgery (XSRF) vulnerability due to an error in HTTP session management. A remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to follow specially crafted link, to cause the user to be logged out.
Note that the victimized user would be able to immediately log back into the system.
