Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: McAfee Virus Scan (affected versions not specified) Norton Anti-Virus (affected versions not specified)

Description: The issue concerns the default configurations of certain virus checkers, which do not scan files in the RECYCLED folder used by the Windows Recycle Bin utility. This oversight allows attackers to store malicious code in this folder without being detected.

Recommendations: For McAfee Virus Scan, update the configuration to include scanning of the RECYCLED folder. For Norton Anti-Virus, update the configuration to include scanning of the RECYCLED folder. As a temporary workaround, consider manually scanning the RECYCLED folder to detect any potential malicious code.
