If you're running VMware ESXi, Workstation, or Fusion, it's time to pay attention—because attackers sure are. Broadcom just rolled out security updates to patch three actively exploited vulnerabilities, and it turns out over 40,000 VMware ESXi instances are at risk.

A major security vulnerability has been uncovered in the Veeam Updater component, a key part of various Veeam backup solutions. This flaw, identified as CVE-2025-23114, could allow hackers to execute malicious code on affected servers by launching a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack. If successfully exploited, attackers could potentially gain root-level access, putting sensitive data and critical systems at risk.

If exploited, this flaw could allow attackers to gain full SYSTEM-level control over your computer. Sounds scary, right? Well, it is. This zero-day vulnerability has been labeled CVE-2024-49138 and has even made it onto the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) list—meaning it's actively being used by hackers.
