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-2018-6690 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: McAfee Application Control (MAC). 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-2018-6690/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6690/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-6690","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6690/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-6690","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f6mq-9vj5-5r82"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"McAfee Application Control","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can bypass application whitelisting to execute arbitrary code via file transfer in McAfee Application Control.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trellix","cpe":[{"product":"application_change_control","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-346","name":"Origin Validation Error"}],"description":"Accessing, modifying, or executing executable files vulnerability in Microsoft Windows client in McAfee Application and Change Control (MACC) 8.0.0 Hotfix 4 and earlier allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via file transfer from external system.","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":"McAfee Application Control (MAC) - Whitelist bypass using a hard drive solidified by MACC","id":"CVE-2018-6690","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Wemo Insight Smart Plug - Remote Code Execution vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-6692"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Data Loss Prevention Endpoint (DLPe) - Authentication Bypass vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-6689"},"products":["McAfee Application Control (MAC)"],"published":"2018-09-18","related":[{"cvss_score":6.3,"headline":"Bypass Application Control through an ASP.NET form","id":"CVE-2018-6669","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-20"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Bypass Application Control with simple DLL","id":"CVE-2018-6668","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-31"}],"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":"Authenticated users can bypass application whitelisting to execute arbitrary code via file transfer in McAfee Application Control.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6690/"}
