A command injection vulnerability was privately reported to VMware. Workarounds are available to address this vulnerability in affected VMware products.

VMware Workspace One Access, Access Connector, Identity Manager, and Identity Manager Connector contain a Command Injection Vulnerability in the administrative configurator. VMware has evaluated this issue to be of 'Important' severity with a maximum CVSSv3 base score of 7.2.

A malicious actor with network access to the administrative configurator on port 8443 and a valid password for the configurator admin account can execute commands with unrestricted privileges on the underlying operating system. This account is internal to the impacted products and a password is set at the time of deployment. A malicious actor must possess this password to attempt to exploit CVE-2020-4006. Examples of how this password could be obtained by a malicious actor are documented in T1586 of the MITRE ATT&CK database.

Fixes for CVE-2020-4006 are documented in the 'Fixed Version' column of the 'Response Matrix' below.

Workarounds for CVE-2020-4006 have been listed in the 'Workarounds' column of the 'Response Matrix' below.

VMware would like to thank the National Security Agency for reporting this vulnerability to us.

[1] These product suites deploy affected components listed in table 3a. Fixes from KB81754 or Workarounds from KB81731 should be applied directly to affected components that these product suites have deployed following the same instructions.

[2] The severity and CVSS scoring for CVE-2020-4006 has been updated to reflect that a malicious actor must posses valid credentials for the configurator admin account in order to attempt exploitation of CVE-2020-4006.
