Member Enumeration Documentation

enum vmware::appliance::update::CommonInfo::Severity::Values

C# enum whose values can be used in switch statements.

Ordinals have no semantic meaning (your code should not rely on them).

Enumerator:

_UNKNOWN	Special enumeration constant which is used to represent constants that do not exist in the current enum binding. For example if a client sends a new constant to an older server, the server code will see this special constant, because its enum binding lacks the new constant.
CRITICAL	Vulnerabilities that can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker from the Internet or those that break the guest/host Operating System isolation. The exploitation results in the complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of user data and/or processing resources without user interaction. Exploitation could be leveraged to propagate an Internet worm or execute arbitrary code between Virtual Machines and/or the Host Operating System. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7.
IMPORTANT	Vulnerabilities that are not rated critical but whose exploitation results in the complete compromise of confidentiality and/or integrity of user data and/or processing resources through user assistance or by authenticated attackers. This rating also applies to those vulnerabilities which could lead to the complete compromise of availability when exploitation is by a remote unauthenticated attacker from the Internet or through a breach of virtual machine isolation. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7.
MODERATE	Vulnerabilities where the ability to exploit is mitigated to a significant degree by configuration or difficulty of exploitation, but in certain deployment scenarios could still lead to the compromise of confidentiality, integrity, or availability of user data and/or processing resources. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7.
LOW	All other issues that have a security impact. Vulnerabilities where exploitation is believed to be extremely difficult, or where successful exploitation would have minimal impact. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7.

Member Data Documentation

readonly Severity vmware::appliance::update::CommonInfo::Severity::CRITICAL = new Severity("CRITICAL", Values.CRITICAL) [static]

Vulnerabilities that can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker from the Internet or those that break the guest/host Operating System isolation.

The exploitation results in the complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of user data and/or processing resources without user interaction. Exploitation could be leveraged to propagate an Internet worm or execute arbitrary code between Virtual Machines and/or the Host Operating System. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7.

readonly Severity vmware::appliance::update::CommonInfo::Severity::IMPORTANT = new Severity("IMPORTANT", Values.IMPORTANT) [static]

Vulnerabilities that are not rated critical but whose exploitation results in the complete compromise of confidentiality and/or integrity of user data and/or processing resources through user assistance or by authenticated attackers.

This rating also applies to those vulnerabilities which could lead to the complete compromise of availability when exploitation is by a remote unauthenticated attacker from the Internet or through a breach of virtual machine isolation. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7.

readonly Severity vmware::appliance::update::CommonInfo::Severity::LOW = new Severity("LOW", Values.LOW) [static]

All other issues that have a security impact.

Vulnerabilities where exploitation is believed to be extremely difficult, or where successful exploitation would have minimal impact. This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7.

readonly Severity vmware::appliance::update::CommonInfo::Severity::MODERATE = new Severity("MODERATE", Values.MODERATE) [static]

Vulnerabilities where the ability to exploit is mitigated to a significant degree by configuration or difficulty of exploitation, but in certain deployment scenarios could still lead to the compromise of confidentiality, integrity, or availability of user data and/or processing resources.

This constant was added in vSphere API 6.7.
