Summary

Element Plug-in for vCenter Server incorporates SpringBoot Framework. SpringBoot Framework versions prior to 1.3.2 are susceptible to a vulnerability which when successfully exploited could lead to Remote Code Execution. All versions of Element Plug-in for vCenter Server, Management Services versions prior to 2.17.56 and Management Node versions through 12.2 contain vulnerable versions of SpringBoot Framework.

Impact

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to disclosure of sensitive information, addition or modification of data, or Denial of Service (DoS).

In order to upgrade to a fixed version of Management Services the storage cluster must be running NetApp Element software and management node version 11.3 or later.

For existing vSphere environments with a registered NetApp Element Plug-in for vCenter Server (VCP), update the plug-in registration after updating the management services package by following these instructions: https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/hci/docs/task_vcp_upgrade_plugin.html

If the storage cluster and management node are running versions prior to Element Software 11.3, please contact NetApp Support to schedule an upgrade.
