VMware has warned its customers about a critical vulnerability present across several of its products, including Workspace One Access and Identity Manager, that could allow cyber criminals to take control of vulnerable machines.

The command injection flaw, tracked as CVE-2020-4006 and rated 9.1 on the CVSS threat severity scale, can be exploited in a host of VMware products, the company has warned. There’s currently no patch available, although the firm has issued a workaround that can be applied in some instances. There’s also no mention as to whether the flaw is being actively exploited in the wild or not.

Hackers armed with network access to the administrative configurator on port 8443 and a valid password to the admin account can exploit the flaw to execute commands with unrestricted privileges on the underlying operating system (OS).
