CVE-2021-21978
VMware View Planner 4.x prior to 4.6 Security Patch 1 contains a remote code execution vulnerability. Improper input validation and lack of authorization leading to arbitrary file upload in logupload web application. An unauthorized attacker with network access to View Planner Harness could upload and execute a specially crafted file leading to remote code execution within the logupload container.
CVSS
- Versión: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Puntuación base: 9.8
Probabilidad de explotación (EPSS)
- Probabilidad de explotación en los próximos 30 días: 99%
- Percentil entre todas las CVEs puntuadas: 100
- 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).
💥 Exploits públicos
Hay código de explotación o plantillas de detección públicos. No es lo mismo que explotación activa confirmada (KEV), pero aumenta el riesgo: parchee con prioridad.
- Módulo de Metasploit (exploit fiable y al alcance de cualquiera) · VMware View Planner Unauthenticated Log File Upload RCE
- Plantilla de Nuclei (detección automática y masiva) · VMware View Planner <4.6 SP1- Remote Code Execution
- Prueba de concepto en GitHub (no verificada) · Lista de pruebas de concepto en GitHub
⚠️ Las pruebas de concepto de GitHub no están verificadas: algunas son falsas o contienen malware. No las ejecute nunca fuera de un laboratorio aislado.
