CVE-2026-22719: VMware Aria Operations command injection vulnerability

Noroxi assessment

Priority: This week (action score 67/100)

  • CISA has confirmed exploitation in the wild (Mar 3, 2026). Remediation deadline for US federal agencies: Mar 24, 2026.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 18.3% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 97.2% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Don’t wait for the next maintenance window. Until a fix is released, restrict access to the affected component and follow the vendor's advisory.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · CISA KEV · FIRST EPSS

VMware Aria Operations contains a command injection vulnerability. A malicious unauthenticated actor may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary commands which may lead to remote code execution in VMware Aria Operations while support-assisted product migration is in progress.  To remediate CVE-2026-22719, apply the patches listed in the 'Fixed Version' column of the ' Response Matrix https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/SecurityAdvisories/0/36947 ' in VMSA-2026-0001  Workarounds for CVE-2026-22719 are documented in the 'Workarounds' column of the ' Response Matrix https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/SecurityAdvisories/0/36947 ' in VMSA-2026-0001
