VMware Workstation contains an arbitrary file deletion vulnerability. A malicious actor with local user privileges on the victims machine may exploit this vulnerability to delete arbitrary files from the file system of the machine on which Workstation is installed.
Weakness
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
