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-2018-6706 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: McAfee Agent (MA) for Linux. 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-2018-6706/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6706/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-6706","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6706/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-6706","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vw89-fw26-fj5r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"McAfee Agent Linux","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An unprivileged user can exploit insecure temporary file handling during McAfee Agent installation on Linux to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trellix","cpe":[{"product":"agent","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":2.3,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-377","name":"DEPRECATED: Insecure Temporary File"}],"description":"Insecure handling of temporary files in non-Windows McAfee Agent 5.0.0 through 5.0.6, 5.5.0, and 5.5.1 allows an Unprivileged User to introduce custom paths during agent installation in Linux via unspecified vectors.","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 Agent (MA) non-Windows versions incorrect use of temporary file vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-6706","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"McAfee Agent Insecure usage of temporary files vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-6707"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"McAfee Agent (MA) for Linux Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-6705"},"products":["McAfee Agent (MA) for Linux"],"published":"2018-12-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Remote Logging functionality had a use after free vulnerability in McAfee Agent","id":"CVE-2018-6703","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-11"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"SQL injection vulnerability in McAfee Agent's ePO extension","id":"CVE-2022-1258","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-14"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"DLL high jacking in Trellix Agent","id":"CVE-2022-2313","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-27"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Improper privilege management in repair process of MA for Windows","id":"CVE-2021-31847","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-22"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Improper Privilege Management in McAfee Agent for Windows","id":"CVE-2022-1256","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation vulnerability in McAfee Agent","id":"CVE-2022-0166","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-01-19"},{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"Code injection vulnerability in McAfee Agent","id":"CVE-2021-31854","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-01-19"}],"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":"An unprivileged user can exploit insecure temporary file handling during McAfee Agent installation on Linux to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6706/"}
