CVE-2026-59347
VMware Workstation and Fusion contain a stack-based buffer-overflow vulnerability in HGFS. A malicious actor with local administrative privileges on a virtual machine may exploit this issue to execute code as the virtual machine's VMX process running on the host.
Affected versions: - VMware Workstation: 25H2, 26H1 (fixed in 26H1u1) - VMware Fusion: 25H2, 26H1 (fixed in 26H1u1)
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 8.1
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
FIRST aún no ha puntuado esta CVE (habitual en CVEs muy recientes o rechazadas).
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).
