On Tuesday May 25, VMware disclosed a serious security flaw that affected the vCenter Server, a tool used for managing virtualization in large data centers. vCenter server is used to administer VMware's vSpehere and ESXi host products, which are widely used by a large number of organizations.
This security flaw is serious and has a severity score of 9.8 out of 10 and should be addressed as soon as possible. A VMware advisory included that "vCenter machines using default configurations have a bug that, in many networks, allows for the execution of malicious code when the machines are reachable on a port that is exposed to the internet".
