Synopsis

A virtualization management application installed on the remote host is affected by a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The version of VMware vCenter Server installed on the remote host is 6.5.x prior to 6.5u1. It is, therefore, affected by a user-input validation error related to the 'H5 Client' that allows stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

Solution

Upgrade to VMware vCenter Server version 6.5.0u1 (6.5.0 build-5973321) or later. Alternatively, apply the vendor-supplied workaround.
