VCLU-70-000009 - Lookup Service must only run one webapp.

Information

VMware ships Lookup Service on the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) with one webapp. Any other path is potentially malicious and must be removed.

For each unexpected directory returned in the check, run the following command:

# rm /usr/lib/vmware-lookupsvc/webapps/<NAME>

Restart the service with the following command:

# vmon-cli --restart lookupsvc
