Oliver Pifferi Follow Jul 15, 2020 2 min read Entitled as CVE-20203974, VMware announced the fixes to a privilege escalation vulnerability affecting VMware Fusion (Pro), VMware Remote Console (VRMC) for Mac and the VMware Horizon Client for Mac.

The issue was privately reported to VMware and contained the mentioned privilege escalation vulnerability due to an improper XPC Client validation.

So whether you virtualize other OS on your Mac-workstation, access your virtual desktop through VMware Horizon or just take care of your VSphere-environment by using the Remote Console, your pointer should be on the Update-button.

VMware-Logo VMware itself has evaluated the severity of this issue to be in the Important severity-range with a maximum CVSSv3 base score of 7.8 which is, as you see, quite high.

Once a system was affected, the successful exploitation of this issue may allow attackers with normal user privileges to escalate their privileges to root systems where Fusion, VMRC for Mac or Horizon Client for Mac is installed.

These are VMware Fusion 11.5.5, VMware Remote Console for Mac 11.2.0 and VMware Horizon Client for Mac 5.4.3.
