Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Oracle VM VirtualBox versions prior to 6.1.24

Description The issue is related to insufficient input validation in the Core component of Oracle VM VirtualBox, allowing a low-privileged attacker with logon access to the infrastructure to compromise Oracle VM VirtualBox. Successful attacks can result in the takeover of Oracle VM VirtualBox. This can lead to unauthorized access to confidential data, disruption of data integrity, and denial of service.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.1.24, update to version 6.1.24 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Core component of Oracle VM VirtualBox to minimize the risk of exploitation.
