VeloCloud Orchestrator (VCO) on-prem has a security issue where this issue may allow a remote attacker to access privileged internal functionality and impact the VCO host. Successful exploitation may compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the orchestrator and data managed by the orchestrator.
This functionality was intended to be for internal use only and is not intended to be remotely accessible.
Hosted and Dedicated versions of VCO have already been patched in advance of this notice going out.
This issue was discovered externally and is known to be actively exploited.
VCO is exposed by default. There is no configuration that can prevent the exposure. A successful attack requires network access to the VCO web interface. VCO tenant or operator credentials are not required for this exposure.
Deployments that restrict VCO web interface access to trusted administrative networks can reduce risk of exposure.
The recommended resolution is to upgrade to a fixed VCO release as soon as it is available. For VCOs which are not on a supported release train, customers can contact TAC to discuss possible upgrade options for your release.
Until the fixed software is deployed, operators should apply defense-in-depth controls appropriate for their environment:
-
Restrict access to the VCO web interface to trusted administrative networks.
-
Monitor the VCO for accesses from known malicious source IPs.
-
Monitor for unexpected outbound network activity from the VCO host.
-
Review recent administrator activity for unexpected changes.
The recommended resolution is to upgrade to a fixed VCO release at your earliest convenience.
This vulnerability has been fixed in the following releases:
- VCO 5.2.3.14 and later in the 5.2 train
- VCO 6.1.3.4 and later in the 6.1 train
- VCO 6.4.2.4 and later in the 6.4 train
