Oracle · Virtualbox · CVE-2024-21273
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Oracle VM VirtualBox versions prior to 7.0.22
Oracle VM VirtualBox versions prior to 7.1.2
**Description**
The issue is related to insufficient protection of internal data in the Core component of Oracle VM VirtualBox, allowing a high-privileged attacker with logon to the infrastructure to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks can result in unauthorized access to critical data or complete access to all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data. Attacks may also significantly impact additional products due to scope change.
**Recommendations**
For Oracle VM VirtualBox versions prior to 7.0.22, update to version 7.0.22 or later.
For Oracle VM VirtualBox versions prior to 7.1.2, update to version 7.1.2 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Core component of Oracle VM VirtualBox to minimize the risk of exploitation.
