Summary
The CVE-2023-34060 vulnerability affects VMware Cloud Director Appliance, specifically when it is upgraded to version 10.5 from an older version. This vulnerability allows a malicious actor with network access to bypass login restrictions on port 22 (ssh) or port 5480 (appliance management console).
