Hi All,

VMware has released a Security Advisory for VMware Tools

VMSA-2023-0013 VMware Tools update addresses Authentication Bypass vulnerability (CVE-2023-20867)

You can download the newest version of VMware Tools here: VMware Tools 12.2.5

After loggin in you need to consent to the general Terms to download the VMware Tools

In the downloaded zip File is the ISO File with the VMWare Tools for Windows

I’ve extracted the ISO, Renamed it and uploaded it to the Datastore

Now the ISO can be attached to a VM

And the Setup can be launched

That’s how it looks like in VCSA
