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

Description The issue allows local users to access files they otherwise would not have access to by manipulating symbolic links. This manipulation redirects McAfee file operations to an unintended file, highlighting an improper access control problem.

Recommendations For versions prior to 10.7.0 September 2020 Update, update to the 10.7.0 September 2020 Update or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to symbolic links to minimize the risk of exploitation.
