CVE-2025-41236
VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion contain an integer-overflow vulnerability in the VMXNET3 virtual network adapter. A malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine with VMXNET3 virtual network adapter may exploit this issue to execute code on the host. Non VMXNET3 virtual adapters are not affected by this issue.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.3
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 2.57%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 85
- Fecha de la puntuación: 6/10/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, de FIRST) estima la probabilidad de que una vulnerabilidad sea explotada en 30 días. Complementa a CVSS (impacto) y a CISA KEV (explotación confirmada).
🎯 Técnicas ATT&CK
Cómo se explota esta vulnerabilidad y qué consigue el atacante, en el lenguaje de MITRE ATT&CK.
- Explotación
T1068Exploitation for Privilege Escalationprivilege escalation95 % - Impacto principal
T1059Command and Scripting Interpreterexecution90 %
Acceso local (AV:L, PR:N) sin interacción: T1068. Desbordamiento de enteros en adaptador VMXNET3 permite ejecutar código en el host (T1059) e intentar escalada a root/hypervisor (T1068 como impacto secundario).
Inferido por nuestro agente de análisis a partir de la descripción oficial, el vector CVSS y la CWE, y comprobado por un supervisor. Puede contener errores.
