Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: McAfee Content Security Reporter (CSR) versions prior to 2.8.0

Description: The issue allows an ePO administrator to view unencrypted passwords of the McAfee Web Gateway (MWG) or the McAfee Web Gateway Cloud Server (MWGCS) read-only user. This occurs due to a cleartext transmission of sensitive information vulnerability in the ePO Extension of McAfee Content Security Reporter (CSR).
