VMware vCenter Alert: Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) in VMware vCenter

This is a critical vulnerability exposing VMware vCenter servers to unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE). Attackers can gain full control of affected servers without needing any credentials, posing an immediate and severe risk to network infrastructure.

Imagine a building with a special "master control panel" (vCenter) that manages all the lights, security cameras, and doors. This vulnerability is like finding a hidden, unlocked back door directly into that control room, with no guard (no authentication) and no security cameras working (no logging of the entry). Anyone who finds this door can walk in and control the entire building's systems without ever being challenged.
