According to Broadcom, this vulnerability could enable a malicious hacker to bypass authentication when accessing vCenter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next vulnerability, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cve.org\/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-47876\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CVE-2026-47876<\/a>, is an out-of-bounds write issue in ESXi\u2019s VMXNET3 virtual network adapter that could enable bad actors to execute code on the host. This does not affect non-VMXNET3 virtual adapters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cve.org\/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-59310\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CVE-2026-59310<\/a> affects VMware vCenter\u2019s Syslog server that a malicious actor with network access could use to execute arbitrary code.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fourth issue, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cve.org\/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-41703\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CVE-2026-41703<\/a>, is rated high, rather than critical, and concerns multiple vulnerabilities in VMware ESX, vCenter, Workstation, and Fusion. A malicious actor with VM deployment privileges could trigger an out-of-bounds read, potentially leading to information disclosure or a denial-of-service (DoS) condition in the host process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last, and least critical, is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cve.org\/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-41709\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CVE-2026-41709<\/a>: VMware ESX has insufficient logging capabilities, potentially enabling a malicious administrator to do things without being caught.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Patches for all these vulnerabilities can be found in <a href=\"https:\/\/support.broadcom.com\/web\/ecx\/support-content-notification\/-\/external\/content\/SecurityAdvisories\/0\/38017\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Broadcom\u2019s VMSA-2026-0006 security advisory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Broadcom has addresses five vulnerabilities in its VMware product range, three of which have been accorded a \u201ccritical\u201d rating.
