Technical details
A privilege escalation vulnerability in Oracle VM VirtualBox core allows a high-privileged attacker with access to the physical communication segment (AV:A) to achieve complete system compromise. The vulnerability has a scope change, meaning successful exploitation can significantly impact additional products beyond VirtualBox itself. No authentication or user interaction is required once the attacker has the prerequisite physical network access.
Affected products
- Oracle VM VirtualBox 7, including 7.2.20
