CVE-2020-4006 is a command injection vulnerability affecting VMware Workspace One Access, Access Connector, Identity Manager, and Identity Manager Connector. The flaw exists in the administrative configurator interface and allows unsafe user-controlled input to reach operating system command execution without proper neutralization. According to the provided content, exploitation is possible through the management interface exposed on port 8443. A remote attacker with access to that interface and valid password-based authentication can execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system with unrestricted privileges.
