CVE-2017-3907: McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange (TIE) Server - Code Injection vulnerability

Code Injection vulnerability in the ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) extension in McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange (TIE) Server 2.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary HTML code to be reflected in the response web page via unspecified vector.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This flaw affects McAfee Threat Intelligence Exchange Server through its ePO extension. A remote attacker could cause attacker-supplied HTML to appear in a response page. That creates management-console trust and content-injection risk, but the public bundle does not show active exploitation or a named fixed version.

Executive priority

Treat this as a moderate management-plane issue. It is not described as full system takeover, but vulnerable security infrastructure deserves timely attention, especially if administrative interfaces are widely reachable.

Technical view

CVE-2017-3907 is a remote code injection issue in the ePolicy Orchestrator extension for McAfee TIE Server 2.1.0 and earlier. The CVE says arbitrary HTML can be reflected in a web response through an unspecified vector. CVSS 3.0 is 5.4 with high attack complexity and no required privileges.

Likely exposure

Exposure is most likely where McAfee TIE Server 2.1.0 or earlier is deployed and its ePO extension web interface is reachable. Internet exposure would raise concern, but the bundle does not state typical deployment exposure or affected URL paths.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not report active exploitation, and KEV is false. The attack is described as remote and unauthenticated, but high complexity. The input vector is unspecified, so validation should avoid assuming a particular request, endpoint, or payload.

Researcher notes

Evidence is limited. The CVE names reflected arbitrary HTML but does not specify the vector, endpoint, payload class, exploit maturity, or patch version. Avoid extrapolating to broader McAfee or Trellix products without vendor confirmation.

Mitigation direction

  • Check McAfee advisory SB10207 for vendor-supported remediation and fixed-version guidance.
  • Upgrade affected TIE Server deployments if the vendor advisory identifies a fixed release.
  • Restrict access to ePO and TIE management interfaces to trusted administrative networks.
  • Review compensating controls for reflected content in management-console responses.
  • Prioritize remediation for externally reachable or broadly accessible management interfaces.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory McAfee TIE Server deployments and record exact versions.
  • Identify systems running TIE Server 2.1.0 or earlier.
  • Confirm whether the ePO extension is installed and reachable.
  • Review network exposure for ePO and TIE management interfaces.
  • Check vendor advisory SB10207 before performing any validation testing.
  • Review web and administrative logs for unusual management-interface requests.
