CVE-2025-41250 is a high-severity SMTP header injection vulnerability in VMware vCenter Server. The flaw affects the scheduled task notification email mechanism and is caused by insufficient validation and sanitization of user-controlled input incorporated into outbound email headers. An authenticated attacker with non-administrative privileges who is permitted to create scheduled tasks can manipulate fields associated with those tasks and inject crafted header content into notification emails generated by vCenter. Successful exploitation allows tampering with the structure and content of scheduled task notification messages, undermining the integrity of administrative communications sent by the platform.
