Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique LSASS Memory (T1003.001); ranked in the top 0.0% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; CISA has added it to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
VMware Workspace ONE UEM console versions 20.0.8 prior to 20.0.8.37, 20.11.0 prior to 20.11.0.40, 21.2.0 prior to 21.2.0.27, and 21.5.0 prior to 21.5.0.37 contain a server-side request forgery vulnerability tracked as CVE-2021-22054 and CWE-918. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 and resides in the console component that processes unauthenticated network requests.
An attacker with network access to the UEM console can exploit the issue without authentication to submit arbitrary requests through the affected server, resulting in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information.
The official VMware advisory VMSA-2021-0029 details the affected releases and corresponding fixed builds that remediate the SSRF vector. CISA has added the CVE to its catalog of known exploited vulnerabilities, and GreyNoise has reported an observed surge in SSRF exploitation attempts that includes this class of flaw.
