Security readout for executives and security teams

A flaw in older Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 clients could let a local user gain higher privileges by abusing how a client install package loads DLLs. This is mainly a risk on systems still running versions before 12.1-RU6-MP1. Exposure is likely limited to endpoints running Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 earlier than 12.1-RU6-MP1, especially where local users can access or influence client install package locations. Prioritize remediation where legacy SEP 12.1 remains on shared workstations, servers, or administrator-managed endpoints. The issue is older and local-only, but endpoint security software runs with high trust, so unresolved exposure should be cleaned up. Mitigation focus: Upgrade affected SEP 12.1 clients to 12.1-RU6-MP1 or later.; Review Symantec advisory guidance for supported remediation details.; Restrict access to SEP client install packages to trusted administrators..
