Security readout for executives and security teams
This flaw weakens McAfee Application and Change Control’s application whitelisting. A local user with low privileges could bypass execution controls using a DLL through an interpreter such as PowerShell, undermining a control many organizations rely on to stop unapproved software. Exposure is most likely on endpoints or servers still running McAfee Application and Change Control 7.0.1 or earlier, especially where local users can run interpreters such as PowerShell. Moderate priority. The issue can erode application control defenses, but the cited data indicates local access is required and does not support active exploitation claims. Mitigation focus: Inventory McAfee Application and Change Control deployments and versions.; Use McAfee SB10261 to determine vendor-supported remediation.; Prioritize remediation for 7.0.1 or earlier systems..
