VMware Falls on Report Its Software Led to SolarWinds Breach

VMware Inc. fell 5.4% after a cybersecurity expert said a flaw in the company’s products was partly responsible for the SolarWinds breach that is roiling U.S. companies and government agencies.

The flaw was outlined Friday in an article by Brian Krebs, who said the U.S. National Security Agency pointed to a vulnerability in VMware Access and VMware Identity Manager products, citing unidentified sources. VMware said it has “received no notification or indication” that its products were used “in conjunction with the SolarWinds supply chain compromise.”
