Security releases: I found no Critical VMware advisory issued in October 2026 that I could verify. The last Critical VMSA I found, VMSA-2026-0006, was issued in July and updated in August. KEV shows no VMware/Broadcom additions in October. (KEV) An October advisory for Workstation/Fusion (VMSA-2026-0007) was referenced, but I didn't fetch the Broadcom page, so its severity is unverified and it's left out.
Post-install / upgrade impact (confirmed by Broadcom, 2026-10-09)
- Upgrading to vCenter Server / VCF 9.1.0 or 9.1.1 from 8.0 U3+, 9.0.0, 9.0.1 or 9.0.2 can remove Supervisor Control Plane VMs and Foundation Load Balancers from inventory. This happens if the vLCM/VUM depot was previously reset with the KB 316581 script. (VMware blog)
- Before upgrading: run the checker and remediation scripts in Broadcom KB 455737 (VDT reports
[FAIL] VUM SCHEMA CHECK). (VMware blog) - If you already upgraded and VMs are missing: revert to the pre-upgrade backup or snapshot, then follow KB 457944. (VMware blog)
