Discussion

VMware ships Lookup Service on the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) with one webapp. Any other path is potentially malicious and must be removed.

Check Content

At the command prompt, run the following command:

# ls -A /usr/lib/vmware-lookupsvc/webapps/*.war

Expected result:

/usr/lib/vmware-lookupsvc/webapps/ROOT.war

If the output does not match the expected result, this is a finding.

Fix Text

For each unexpected directory returned in the check, run the following command:

# rm /usr/lib/vmware-lookupsvc/webapps/<NAME>

Restart the service with the following command:

# vmon-cli --restart lookupsvc
