This affects VMware vCenter Server (7.x before 7.0 U1c, 6.7 before 6.7 U3l, and 6.5 before 6.5 U3n) and VMware Cloud Foundation (4.x before 4.2 and 3.x before 3.10.1.2).
  impact: |
    Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to send arbitrary requests from the vulnerable server, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data leakage, or further attacks.
  remediation: |
    Apply the necessary security patches or updates provided by VMware to mitigate this vulnerability.
