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-2019-3592 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2019-3592 is a high-severity vulnerability in McAfee, LLC McAfee Agent (MA), published on 18 Jul 2019. 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-2019-3592 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: McAfee, LLC McAfee Agent (MA). 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-2019-3592/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-3592/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-3592","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-3592/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-3592","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3v6v-w2x6-55vq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"McAfee Agent","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Local administrators can escalate privileges or cause denial of service by manipulating directory permissions and placing malicious files in the McAfee Agent directory.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trellix","cpe":[{"product":"agent","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Privilege escalation vulnerability in McAfee Agent (MA) before 5.6.1 HF3, allows local administrator users to potentially disable some McAfee processes by manipulating the MA directory control and placing a carefully constructed file in the MA directory.","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":"MA for Windows update addresses weak directory permissions","id":"CVE-2019-3592","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Exploitation of Privilege/Trust vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-3593"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DLP Endpoint ePO extension vulnerable to XSS","id":"CVE-2019-3591"},"products":["McAfee Agent (MA)"],"published":"2019-07-18","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["McAfee, LLC"]},"summary":"Local administrators can escalate privileges or cause denial of service by manipulating directory permissions and placing malicious files in the McAfee Agent directory.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-3592/"}
