Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions McAfee Endpoint Security (ENS) for Windows versions prior to 10.7.0 February 2020 Update

Description The issue allows an authenticated local user to potentially gain an escalation of privileges by manipulating symbolic links, pointing them to files that the user would not normally have permission to alter. This is achieved by carefully creating symbolic links from the ENS log file directory.

Recommendations For versions prior to 10.7.0 February 2020 Update, update to the February 2020 Update or a later version to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the ENS log file directory to minimize the risk of exploitation.
