Description:
The issue is related to insufficient input validation in the Core component of Oracle VM VirtualBox, allowing a highly privileged attacker with logon access to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox executes to compromise it. Successful attacks can result in unauthorized creation, deletion, or modification access to critical data or all Oracle VM VirtualBox accessible data. Although the vulnerability is in Oracle VM VirtualBox, attacks may significantly impact additional products.
