SQL injection vulnerability in core services in Intel Security McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) 5.3.2 and earlier and 5.1.3 and earlier allows attackers to alter a SQL query, which can result in disclosure of information within the database or impersonation of an agent without authentication via a specially crafted HTTP post.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects older McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator servers. An unauthenticated attacker could send a crafted HTTP POST that changes a SQL query, potentially exposing database information or impersonating an ePO agent. Because ePO centrally manages security operations, affected internet- or broadly network-reachable systems deserve prompt attention. Exposure is limited to organizations still running McAfee ePO 5.3.2 or earlier, or 5.1.3 or earlier. Risk is higher where ePO core services are reachable from untrusted networks or large internal segments. Prioritize remediation if any affected ePO server remains in service. This is not just a single-server issue: compromise could undermine security management data and agent trust across the environment. Mitigation focus: Identify any McAfee ePO servers at versions 5.3.2, 5.1.3, or earlier.; Review McAfee advisory SB10187 for the vendor-approved update or mitigation path.; Restrict ePO access to trusted administrative networks only..
