CVE-2025-22215
📋 TL;DR
VMware Aria Automation contains a server-side request forgery (SSRF) vulnerability that allows authenticated users with 'Organization Member' access to make the server send requests to internal services. This enables attackers to enumerate and potentially interact with internal systems that should not be externally accessible. Organizations running vulnerable versions of VMware Aria Automation are affected.
💻 Affected Systems
- VMware Aria Automation
⚠️ Manual Verification Required
This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.
Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

- Review the CVE details at NVD
- Check vendor security advisories for your specific version
- Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
- Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
An attacker could discover and potentially exploit other vulnerable internal services, leading to lateral movement, data exfiltration, or full network compromise.
Likely Case
Attackers map internal network services and infrastructure, gathering intelligence for further attacks or identifying additional vulnerabilities.
If Mitigated
With proper network segmentation and access controls, impact is limited to information disclosure about internal services.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires authenticated access but is technically simple once access is obtained
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Check vendor advisory for specific patched versions
Vendor Advisory: https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/SecurityAdvisories/0/25312
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Review the vendor advisory for affected versions. 2. Apply the recommended patch/update from VMware. 3. Restart affected services. 4. Verify the fix is applied.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Network Segmentation
allRestrict outbound network access from VMware Aria Automation servers to only necessary internal services
Access Control Review
allReview and minimize 'Organization Member' access privileges to only essential users
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network segmentation to limit what internal services the Aria Automation server can reach
- Enhance monitoring for unusual outbound requests from Aria Automation servers
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check your VMware Aria Automation version against the vendor advisory to determine if you're running an affected versionCheck Version:
Check through VMware Aria Automation administration interface or consult product documentationVerify Fix Applied:
Verify you have applied the patched version specified in the vendor advisory and test that SSRF attempts are blocked📡 Detection & Monitoring
