This post is a short notice about vulnerabilities in VMware products I found earlier this year.
During a penetration test of a freshly built environment, I took a closer look at VMware Unified Access Gateway (UAG) in combination with devices enrolled and managed via VMware Unified Endpoint Management (UEM).
I found a reflected XSS vulnerability on VMware’s authenticator vmwareidentity.de
that can be abused by sending links to unauthenticated victims.
Also, I found it possible to export a user’s authentication certificate, which allows to access zero trust protected resources without access to the user’s device or account on a trusted system.
There has been no advisory or notification for affected customers I am aware of.
The disclosure deadline was already a few weeks ago and VMware did not respond to multiple attempts of contacting them as well as offering an extension of the responsible disclosure timeframe, therefore I am releasing the vulnerability details to the public.
