Vulnerability description

DayBreach CVE AI Research

CVE-2025-41244 has vendor, distribution, patch and security-source records on file. We can compare them and prepare an explanation linked to the evidence.

A flaw was found in VMWare open-vm-tools. A malicious actor with non-administrative privileges on a guest Virtual Machine (VM) could exploit this vulnerability to gain root privileges on the VM. The issue lies in the service-discovery plugin logic, which can execute attacker-controlled binaries from writable paths such as /tmp. Exploitation requires the open-vm-tools-sdmp package to be installed and guest service discovery to be enabled.
