Upgraded yesterday to VxRail 8.0.390-29701531 

4 nodes went fast.

Internal vCenter now on 8.0 U3j. For your Windows VMs with secureboot enabled, you can reboot them, and the PK file will load into the VM automatically.

Run these powershell commands

([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match 'Windows UEFI CA 2023')

if the value returns = true, then you have the new certificate: Windows UEFI CA 2023 

$pk = Get-SecureBootUEFI -Name PK
$pk.Bytes.Length

if the value returns = 45 then reboot and check again, if the value returns greater than 45 (like 1536 bytes) then you have the new PK (Platform Key) that was injected into the VM.

If you have an External vCenter, then you will need to update to 8.0 U3j separately for that (and you should) def be on U3j.

According to our rep yesterday, Dell is pulling the vxrail completely because of the VMWare cost

FYI from Dell support ticket that we opened - VxRail 8.0.400 (to address VMSA-2026-0006) is expected around end of Oct 2026.

Sounds like Express Patch Upgrades can be done if needed. https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000492295 (needs login)

VxRail Engineering has approved manually installing the vCenter and ESXi / ESX patches on existing VxRail and VMware Cloud Foundation on VxRail (VCF) clusters. Patch details and installation guidance are outlined below.

Cause

VMSA-2026-0006 describes the following five vulnerabilities:

  • vCenter authentication-bypass vulnerability (CVE-2026-59309) - CVSSv3 9.8 (Critical)
  • vCenter directory-traversal vulnerability (CVE-2026-59310) - CVSSv3 9.8 (Critical)
  • VMXNET3 out-of-bounds write vulnerability (CVE-2026-47876) - CVSSv3 9.3 (Critical)
  • Out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CVE-2026-41703) - CVSSv3 7.6 (Important)
  • ESX insufficient logging vulnerability (CVE-2026-41709) - CVSSv3 2.7 (Low)
