It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-3984 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3984/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3984/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-3984","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3984/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-3984","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-55vh-mg3p-5pp2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"McAfee Endpoint Security","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Local administrators can bypass self-protection rules and disable the antivirus engine by modifying registry keys in various McAfee endpoint products.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"active_response","vendor":"mcafee"},{"product":"agent","vendor":"mcafee"},{"product":"data_exchange_layer","vendor":"mcafee"},{"product":"data_loss_prevention_endpoint","vendor":"mcafee"},{"product":"endpoint_security","vendor":"mcafee"},{"product":"host_intrusion_prevention","vendor":"mcafee"},{"product":"virusscan_enterprise","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":5.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"The McAfee VirusScan Console (mcconsol.exe) in McAfee Active Response (MAR) before 1.1.0.161, Agent (MA) 5.x before 5.0.2 Hotfix 1110392 (5.0.2.333), Data Exchange Layer 2.x (DXL) before 2.0.1.140.1, Data Loss Prevention Endpoint (DLPe) 9.3 before Patch 6 and 9.4 before Patch 1 HF3, Device Control (MDC) 9.3 before Patch 6 and 9.4 before Patch 1 HF3, Endpoint Security (ENS) 10.x before 10.1, Host Intrusion Prevention Service (IPS) 8.0 before 8.0.0.3624, and VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) 8.8 before P7 (8.8.0.1528) on Windows allows local administrators to bypass intended self-protection rules and disable the antivirus engine by modifying registry keys.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-03-07","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-03-07","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"39531","stars":null,"title":"McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.8 - Security Restrictions Bypass"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3984","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3985"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3983"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-04-08","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability in MAR for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-7289","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability in MAR for Linux","id":"CVE-2020-7290","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability MAR for Mac","id":"CVE-2020-7291","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-08"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"MWG scanners updated to address CVE-2019-9517","id":"CVE-2019-3644","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-11"},{"cvss_score":6,"headline":"McAfee MAR - Improperly implemented security check","id":"CVE-2020-7326","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-15"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"MWG scanners updated to address CVE-2019-9511","id":"CVE-2019-3643","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-11"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local administrators can bypass self-protection rules and disable the antivirus engine by modifying registry keys in various McAfee endpoint products.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3984/"}
