What is CVE-2017-4897?

VMware Horizon DaaS prior to version 7.0.0 is vulnerable due to inadequate validation of user data. This vulnerability allows attackers to exploit the system by deceiving users into connecting to a malicious server. Once connected, the attackers can gain access to users' drives and devices through a specially crafted RDP file that the victim unwittingly downloads by clicking on a harmful link. As the attack relies on user interaction, it poses a significant risk to unsuspecting individuals who utilize the DaaS client.
