"The version of VMware Workstation installed on the remote host is 17.x prior to 17.6.3. It is, therefore, affected by
multiple vulnerabilities:

  - VMware ESXi, and Workstation contain a TOCTOU (Time-of-Check Time-of-Use) vulnerability that leads to an
    out-of-bounds write. 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-2025-22224)
    
  - VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion contain an information disclosure vulnerability due to an out-of-bounds read
    in HGFS. A malicious actor with administrative privileges to a virtual machine may be able to exploit this issue to
    leak memory from the vmx process. (CVE-2025-22226)

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