AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Oracle VM VirtualBox versions prior to 5.2.20

Description The issue is related to insufficient access control in the Core subcomponent of Oracle VM VirtualBox, allowing a low-privileged attacker with network access via the VRDP protocol to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and may significantly impact additional products, potentially resulting in the takeover of Oracle VM VirtualBox.

Recommendations For versions prior to 5.2.20, update to version 5.2.20 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the VRDP protocol to minimize the risk of exploitation.
