Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Oracle VM VirtualBox versions prior to 5.2.34 Oracle VM VirtualBox versions prior to 6.0.14

Description The issue is related to inadequate access control in the Core component of Oracle VM VirtualBox, allowing a highly privileged attacker with logon access to the infrastructure where Oracle VM VirtualBox is executed to compromise it. Successful attacks can result in the takeover of Oracle VM VirtualBox and may significantly impact additional products.

Recommendations For versions prior to 5.2.34, update to version 5.2.34 or later. For versions prior to 6.0.14, update to version 6.0.14 or later. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Core component until a patch is available.
