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-2020-7251 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: McAfee, LLC Mcafee Endpoint Security (ENS). 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-2020-7251/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7251/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-7251","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7251/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-7251","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5qr7-8ch4-q94w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint Security","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can disable security features by using an older configuration tool, bypassing endpoint protection controls.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trellix","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_security","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-358","name":"Improperly Implemented Security Check for Standard"}],"description":"Improper access control vulnerability in Configuration Tool in McAfee Mcafee Endpoint Security (ENS) Prior to 10.6.1 February 2020 Update allows local users to disable security features via unauthorised use of the configuration tool from older versions of ENS.","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":"ESConfig Tool able to edit configuration for newer version","id":"CVE-2020-7251","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Unquoted service executable path","id":"CVE-2020-7252"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ENS symbolic link log file manipulation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-7250"},"products":["Mcafee Endpoint Security (ENS)"],"published":"2020-02-14","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Improper Access Control Vulnerability in ENS for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-7319","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability through symbolic links in ENS for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-7264","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability through symbolic links in ENSM","id":"CVE-2020-7265","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-08"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"McAfee Endpoint Security updates fix a privilege escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-3582","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-02-28"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability through Symbolic links in ENS","id":"CVE-2020-7257","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-15"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Improper Access Control in the ENS installer","id":"CVE-2021-23882","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-10"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"ENS symbolic link log file manipulation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-7250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-15"}],"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 disable security features by using an older configuration tool, bypassing endpoint protection controls.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7251/"}
