Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: VMware Workstation version 5.5.3 34685

Description: The issue allows local users to potentially read clipboard contents by moving the focus back to the host operating system when the "Enable copy and paste to and from this virtual machine" option is enabled. This occurs because clipboard data is preserved on the guest operating system even after it has been deleted on the host operating system.

Recommendations: For VMware Workstation version 5.5.3 34685, consider disabling the "Enable copy and paste to and from this virtual machine" option as a temporary workaround to minimize the risk of exploitation.
