McAfee VirusScan 4.5.1, when the WebScanX.exe module is enabled, searches for particular DLLs from the user's home directory, even when browsing the local hard drive, which allows local users to run arbitrary code via malicious versions of those DLLs.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old local code-execution issue in McAfee VirusScan 4.5.1 when WebScanX.exe is enabled. A local user could cause the product to load malicious DLLs from the user's home directory. The sources do not show internet-facing exploitation or current supported-product impact. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy endpoints still running McAfee VirusScan 4.5.1 with WebScanX.exe enabled. The source bundle does not identify newer affected versions, server products, or cloud services. Prioritize only if legacy McAfee VirusScan 4.5.1 remains in the environment. For most modern fleets, business urgency is low, but any affected security software on operational systems should be removed or isolated because it can weaken endpoint trust. Mitigation focus: Inventory for McAfee VirusScan 4.5.1 and WebScanX.exe usage.; Check McAfee or Trellix archival guidance for official remediation.; Disable WebScanX.exe where business operations allow..
