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-2019-3617 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: McAfee, LLC Total Protection (ToPS) for Mac OS. 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-2019-3617/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-3617/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-3617","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-3617/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-3617","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5r78-g39m-gp5q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"McAfee Total Protection","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain root privileges on Mac systems by exploiting insecure temporary file handling in McAfee Total Protection.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trellix","cpe":[{"product":"total_protection","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Privilege escalation vulnerability in McAfee Total Protection (ToPS) for Mac OS prior to 4.6 allows local users to gain root privileges via incorrect protection of temporary files.","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":"Privilege escalation in ToPS for Mac","id":"CVE-2019-3617","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":"Information disclosure in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO)","id":"CVE-2019-3619"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Data Leakage Vulnerability in McAfee Database Security web interface","id":"CVE-2019-3615"},"products":["Total Protection (ToPS) for Mac OS"],"published":"2020-06-10","related":[{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"McAfee Total Protection (MTP) Improper Privilege Management","id":"CVE-2021-23874","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-02-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-24579","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-43751","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-22"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability in McAfee Total Protection (MTP)","id":"CVE-2021-23872","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-12"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability in McAfee Total Protection (MTP)","id":"CVE-2021-23891","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-12"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"McAfee Total Protection (MTP) privilege escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-23873","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"McAfee Total Protection (MTP) Bypass Remote Procedure call vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-23876","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-10"}],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["McAfee, LLC"]},"summary":"Local attackers can gain root privileges on Mac systems by exploiting insecure temporary file handling in McAfee Total Protection.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-3617/"}
