Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Oracle VM VirtualBox versions prior to 6.1.34

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 unauthorized update, insert, or delete access to some of Oracle VM VirtualBox's accessible data. The vulnerability may also significantly impact additional products due to scope change.
