Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-7278 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: 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-2020-7278/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7278/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-7278","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7278/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-7278","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-988q-42c6-39xw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint Security Firewall","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers and local users can bypass firewall rules due to incorrect enforcement, allowing unauthorized network traffic.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trellix","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_security","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"Exploiting incorrectly configured access control security levels vulnerability in ENS Firewall in McAfee Endpoint Security (ENS) for Windows prior to 10.7.0 April 2020 and 10.6.1 April 2020 updates allows remote attackers and local users to allow or block unauthorized traffic via pre-existing rules not being handled correctly when updating to the February 2020 updates.","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 firewall rules not enforced correctly","id":"CVE-2020-7278","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"DLL search order hijacking in Host IPS","id":"CVE-2020-7279"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"McAfee processes not protected","id":"CVE-2020-7277"},"products":["McAfee Endpoint Security (ENS)"],"published":"2020-04-15","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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["McAfee LLC"]},"summary":"Remote attackers and local users can bypass firewall rules due to incorrect enforcement, allowing unauthorized network traffic.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7278/"}
