It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2018-6689 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2018-6689 is a high-severity authentication bypass vulnerability in McAfee Data Loss Prevention Endpoint (DLPe), published on 3 Oct 2018. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-6689 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: McAfee Data Loss Prevention Endpoint (DLPe). 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-2018-6689/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6689/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-6689","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6689/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-6689","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-272x-j33v-vxm7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Data Loss Prevention Endpoint","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass local security protections in McAfee Data Loss Prevention Endpoint via specific conditions, compromising endpoint security controls.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trellix","cpe":[{"product":"data_loss_prevention_endpoint","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Authentication Bypass vulnerability in McAfee Data Loss Prevention Endpoint (DLPe) 10.0.x earlier than 10.0.510, and 11.0.x earlier than 11.0.600 allows attackers to bypass local security protection via specific conditions.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Data Loss Prevention Endpoint (DLPe) - Authentication Bypass vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-6689","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"McAfee Application Control (MAC) - Whitelist bypass using a hard drive solidified by MACC","id":"CVE-2018-6690"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"GetSusp (a free McAfee tool) update fixes an infinite loop vulnerability (CVE-2018-6687)","id":"CVE-2018-6687"},"products":["Data Loss Prevention Endpoint (DLPe)"],"published":"2018-10-03","related":[{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Data Loss Prevention (DLP) ePO extension - Cross site scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-31848","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-01"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Data Loss Prevention (DLP) ePO extension - SQL injection","id":"CVE-2021-31849","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-01"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Local Privilege Escalation in McAfee DLP Endpoint for Windows","id":"CVE-2021-31844","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-17"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in McAfee DLP Endpoint for Windows","id":"CVE-2021-23887","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-15"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Data Loss Prevention Endpoint (DLPe)","id":"CVE-2016-8012","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"DLP Endpoint log file redirection to arbitrary locations","id":"CVE-2019-3622","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-24"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Data Loss Prevention (DLP) for Windows","id":"CVE-2018-6683","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-23"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["McAfee"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass local security protections in McAfee Data Loss Prevention Endpoint via specific conditions, compromising endpoint security controls.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6689/"}
