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-2018-6707 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2018-6707 is a low-severity denial of service vulnerability in McAfee Agent (MA) non-Windows non-Windows versions, published on 13 Dec 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-2018-6707 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: McAfee Agent (MA) non-Windows non-Windows versions. 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-2018-6707/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6707/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-6707","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6707/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-6707","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4526-pqcm-97mm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"McAfee Agent","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can cause denial of service or execute code in non-Windows McAfee Agent by exploiting insecure temporary file handling.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trellix","cpe":[{"product":"agent","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":3.7,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"Denial of Service through Resource Depletion vulnerability in the agent in non-Windows McAfee Agent (MA) 5.0.0 through 5.0.6, 5.5.0, and 5.5.1 allows local users to cause DoS, unexpected behavior, or potentially unauthorized code execution via knowledge of the internal trust mechanism.","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 Insecure usage of temporary files vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-6707","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"True Key (TK) Windows Client - Weak Directory Permission Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-6755"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"McAfee Agent (MA) non-Windows versions incorrect use of temporary file vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-6706"},"products":["McAfee Agent (MA) non-Windows non-Windows versions"],"published":"2018-12-13","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":"Local attackers can cause denial of service or execute code in non-Windows McAfee Agent by exploiting insecure temporary file handling.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6707/"}
