VMware vSphere / vCenter Server external attack matrix — version fingerprinting, the high-impact CVE chain (CVE-2021-21972 vRealize unauth file upload, CVE-2021-21985 vSAN plugin RCE, CVE-2022-22954 Workspace ONE SSTI, CVE-2023-20887 Aria RCE, CVE-2024-37085 ESXi AD bypass, CVE-2023-34048 vCenter DCERPC OOB write APT-exploited), default credentials, SSO configuration disclosure, vmdir LDAP enumeration, ESXi Open SLP RCE history. ONLY for vCenter / Workspace ONE / Aria instances exposed to the internet — internal-network vCenter is out of scope per the external-only boundary. Use when recon shows port 443 with vCenter banner, `/ui` redirect, `/websso/SAML2/Metadata`, or VMware product fingerprints.

## When to use
Trigger when external recon shows ANY of:
- Banner: "VMware vCenter Server", "VMware vSphere Client"
- URL paths: `/ui`, `/ui/login`, `/websso/SAML2/Metadata`, `/sdk`, `/mob` (Managed Object Browser)
- TLS cert SAN includes `vcenter` / `vsphere` / `vcsa` / `psc` / `vmware`
- Workspace ONE Access / Identity Manager: `/SAAS`, `/SAAS/auth`, `/SAAS/login`, `/SAAS/horizon`
- VMware Aria / vRealize: `/vco`, `/vco-controlcenter`, `/orchestrator`, `/lcm/api/v1`
- Horizon View: `/portal`, `/admin`
Do NOT use for:
- Internal-network vCenter (out of scope — external boundary discipline)
- Pure ESXi hypervisor exposed without management plane (rare on internet; flag as separate finding)
