Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions VMware Carbon Black Cloud for MacOS versions prior to 3.5.1

Description The issue is related to the handling of certain files by the installer of the macOS Sensor for VMware Carbon Black Cloud in an insecure way. A malicious actor with local access to the endpoint where the macOS sensor is being installed may overwrite a limited number of files with output from the sensor installation. This could potentially impact the integrity and availability of protected information.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.5.1, update to version 3.5.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting local access to the endpoint on which the macOS sensor is being installed to minimize the risk of exploitation.
