VMware Security Advisories (VMSA) via NVD
Broadcom's VMSA portal is a JavaScript app with no stable public feed, so VulniPulse ingests VMware CVEs from NVD filtered to VMware's own CNAs (security@vmware.com and Broadcom's successor CNA) — official, CNA-published data covering ESXi, vCenter Server, NSX, Aria/vRealize, Cloud Foundation, Workstation/Fusion and VMware Tools. Each entry links back to the Broadcom/VMware advisory when NVD carries the reference.

High [CVE-2026-40973] Spring Boot: local attacker on the same host as the application may be able to take control of the directory used by `ApplicationTemp`
A local attacker on the same host as the application may be able to take control of the directory used by `ApplicationTemp`. When `server.servlet.session.persistent` is set to `true` and the attack persists across application restarts, this may allow the attacker to read session information and hijack authenticated users or deploy a gadget chain and execute code as the application's user. Affected: Spring Boot 4.0.0–4.0.5 (fix 4.0.6), 3.5.0–3.5.13 (fix 3.5.14), 3.4.0–3.4.15 (fix 3.4.16), 3.3.0–3.3.18 (fix 3.3.19), 2.7.0–2.7.32 (fix 2.7.33); predictable temp directory / `ApplicationTemp` ownership verification. Versions that are no longer supported are also affected per vendor advisory.
High [CVE-2026-40972] Spring Boot: attacker on the same network as the remote application
An attacker on the same network as the remote application may be able to utilize a timing attack to discover information about the remote secret. In extreme circumstances this could result in the attacker determining the secret and uploading changed classes, thereby achieving remote code execution in the remote application. Affected: Spring Boot 4.0.0–4.0.5 (fix 4.0.6), 3.5.0–3.5.13 (fix 3.5.14), 3.4.0–3.4.15 (fix 3.4.16), 3.3.0–3.3.18 (fix 3.3.19), 2.7.0–2.7.32 (fix 2.7.33); DevTools remote secret comparison. Versions that are no longer supported are also affected per vendor advisory.
