Broadcom Patches VMware NSX and vCenter Vulnerabilities

🔒 Broadcom has released security updates for VMware vCenter and NSX addressing multiple high-severity vulnerabilities, including CVE-2025-41250, CVE-2025-41251 and CVE-2025-41252. The most serious, an SMTP header injection in vCenter (CVSSv3 8.5), allows non-administrative users to tamper with scheduled email notifications and has no available workaround. Two NSX flaws permit unauthenticated username enumeration, which can facilitate brute-force or credential-stuffing attacks. Administrators are urged to apply the fixed versions immediately.

VMware flaws allow username enumeration, patches released

🛡️ Three important vulnerabilities were disclosed in VMware products, including two in NSX that allow unauthenticated username enumeration and one in vCenter that permits SMTP header manipulation by authenticated non‑admin users with scheduled task privileges. The U.S. National Security Agency discovered two of the issues and all three are rated Important. VMware has released patches to address the flaws. Organizations are urged to apply updates immediately, avoid exposing vCenter to the internet, enforce multi‑factor authentication, change default credentials, and deploy layered protections such as web application firewalls and brute‑force detection controls.
