Unauthenticated Command Injection RCE in VMware Aria Operations
CVE-2026-22719 is a command injection vulnerability in Broadcom VMware Aria Operations (formerly vRealize Operations/vROps). According to Broadcom, a malicious unauthenticated actor can exploit the flaw to execute arbitrary commands, potentially resulting in remote code execution on the Aria Operations appliance. Exploitation is tied to a specific operational state: the vulnerable code path is reachable while a support-assisted product migration is in progress. Reported affected versions include Aria Operations 8.x through 8.18.5 and 9.x through 9.0.1, with related exposure also noted in bundled platforms that include Aria Operations, such as VMware Cloud Foundation, VMware vSphere Foundation, and certain VMware Telco Cloud offerings. Public reporting does not provide deeper technical detail on the exact vulnerable function or parameter handling beyond Broadcom’s classification of the issue as command injection.
