Technical details
A vulnerability in the Core component of Oracle VM VirtualBox version 7.2.12 allows an unauthenticated attacker with local logon access to the host infrastructure to compromise the application. The vulnerability is classified as easily exploitable but requires human interaction (UI:R) from a person other than the attacker. Successful exploitation can lead to a complete denial of service (hang or repeatable crash) and unauthorized integrity impacts, such as the ability to update, insert, or delete some VirtualBox accessible data. The attack vector is local (AV:L) with low complexity (AC:L).
