Summary

Broadcom's VMware security advisory, VMSA-2025-0004, addresses three critical vulnerabilities affecting ESXi versions 7.0 and 8.0, with severity ratings ranging from High to Critical. These vulnerabilities, identified as CVE-2025-22224, CVE-2025-22225, and CVE-2025-22226, involve issues such as a time-of-check time-of-use vulnerability, an arbitrary write vulnerability, and an information disclosure vulnerability, with CVSSv3 scores between 7.1 and 9.3. Organizations are urged to apply the appropriate patches to mitigate these threats and secure their virtualization infrastructure. Tools like Dynatrace VSPM can aid in quickly detecting these vulnerabilities and automating remediation efforts, enhancing the security of workloads and minimizing the risk of system compromise. By integrating such tools into regular security protocols, organizations can maintain hardened VMware configurations, streamline security management, and prioritize protection against critical vulnerabilities.
