The current feed maps broadcom/vmware_center_server (generic), broadcom/vmware_cloud_foundation (generic), n/a/VMware Cloud Foundation (generic), n/a/VMware vCenter Server (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
A CVSS score is not reported in the current record. Known-exploitation status makes exposure review time-sensitive. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.
