Technical assessment

A Nuclei template that detects VMware Aria Operations instances by checking for a specific response body string and HTTP 200 status, then extracts a version number and compares it to a vulnerable range (< 8.18.5).

Backdoor review

No backdoor observed in reviewed code

The repository contains a Nuclei template for detecting CVE-2025-41244 and a README with usage instructions. The template performs a benign GET request to identify VMware Aria Operations instances and extract version information. No backdoor, deceptive payload, or concealed harmful behavior is present in the reviewed text files.

Classification basis and observed behavior

Classification basis

The artifact is a Nuclei template that performs version detection and comparison to identify vulnerable VMware Aria Operations instances. It does not contain any code to exploit the vulnerability or gain elevated privileges; it only checks for the presence and version of the software.

CVE-2025-41244.yaml:1-38README.md:1-3

Requirements

  • Target URL must be reachable and respond to GET /ui/login.action?vcf=1CVE-2025-41244.yaml:14-16

Observed behavior

  • Sends an HTTP GET request to {{BaseURL}}/ui/login.action?vcf=1CVE-2025-41244.yaml:14-16
  • Extracts a version string from the response body using regex ?version=([0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+\.[0-9]+)CVE-2025-41244.yaml:18-24
  • Matches if the response body contains 'VMware Aria Operations', the HTTP status is 200, and the extracted version is less than 8.18.5CVE-2025-41244.yaml:26-38
