Tom Sellers@GossiTheDog @dangoodin Compromise of the VMware ESXi host can result in compromise of the guests. Companies often run Active Directory controllers on VMware so compromise of the host can result in AD compromise as well. The VMware management infrastructure, such as vSphere, vCloud Director, etc also runs in VMware so you can compromise those as well. This applies to any sensitive workloads that you can run in a virtual machine.
Networking for the guests is handled by the ESXi host. If you have full control of the host you can sniff and inject traffic, potentially impact local routing, etc.
