Analyst Note
CVE-2024-37079 was patched by VMware in June 2024 and subsequently added to CISA's KEV catalog citing active exploitation in the wild. The timing—patch released June 2024, exploitation confirmed shortly after—combined with CISA's explicit documentation of in-the-wild attacks demonstrates zero-day exploitation occurred before or concurrent with patch availability.
