It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2017-6331 exists.\n\nAffected product: Symantec Endpoint Protection. 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-2017-6331/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6331/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-6331","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6331/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-6331","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p32x-gx9p-8798"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint Protection","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass real-time protection in Symantec Endpoint Protection, allowing malicious applications to run undetected on servers and clients.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"symantec","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_protection","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Prior to SEP 14 RU1 Symantec Endpoint Protection product can encounter an issue of Tamper-Protection Bypass, which is a type of attack that bypasses the real time protection for the application that is run on servers and clients.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2017-11-10","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2017-11-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"43134","stars":null,"title":"Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1 - Tamper-Protection Bypass"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Symantec Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2017-6331","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"symantec:endpoint_protection","products":["symantec:endpoint_protection"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"NETGEAR DGN2200 Devices OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2017-6334"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Symantec Encryption Desktop","id":"CVE-2017-6330"},"products":["Symantec Endpoint Protection"],"published":"2017-11-06","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-0295","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-23"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2018-5237","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-20"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2020-5836","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Symantec Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2020-5837","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE)","id":"CVE-2020-5820","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Code injection in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE)","id":"CVE-2020-5821","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) and Symantec Endpoint Protection Small Business Edition (SEP SBE)","id":"CVE-2020-5822","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-11"}],"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":"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Symantec Corporation"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass real-time protection in Symantec Endpoint Protection, allowing malicious applications to run undetected on servers and clients.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6331/"}
