CVE-2026-22719

Broadcom's VMware Aria Operations (formerly vRealize Operations) contains a command injection flaw (CWE-77, CVSS 3.1 base score 8.1) that allows a malicious unauthenticated remote actor to execute arbitrary operating-system commands. The vulnerability is only exploitable while a support-assisted product migration is in progress, which narrows the attack window but requires no privileges or user interaction. Successful exploitation yields remote code execution on the affected Aria Operations instance. Organizations running Aria Operations standalone or as part of VMware Cloud Foundation, VMware Telco Cloud Infrastructure, or VMware Telco Cloud Platform are affected. The flaw is confirmed exploited in the wild: CISA added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2026-03-03, and its EPSS score of 17.4% (97th percentile) indicates elevated near-term exploitation risk.

What to do: Apply the patches listed in the Fixed Version column of the Response Matrix in VMSA-2026-0001 (https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/SecurityAdvisories/0/36947). If patching must be delayed, implement the workarounds documented in the Workarounds column of the same Response Matrix and defer any support-assisted product migrations until systems are patched. Federal agencies must follow BOD 22-01 guidance given the KEV listing; all defenders should check whether support-assisted migrations are in progress or scheduled on their Aria Operations instances.
