VMware vCenter Server contains a privilege escalation vulnerability that can be triggered by a malicious actor with network access by sending a specially crafted network packet. Successful exploitation allows escalation of privileges to root on the affected vCenter Server. The issue has been associated with privilege-handling weaknesses, including execution with unnecessary privileges, and has been discussed as part of a broader set of vCenter DCE/RPC-related flaws that can be chained with remote code execution vulnerabilities.
