It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2020-7288 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: McAfee,LLC McAfee Exploit Detection and Response (EDR) for Mac. 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-2020-7288/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7288/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-7288","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7288/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-7288","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9q9r-c9rx-65r2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"McAfee EDR for Mac","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can execute unauthorized functions via a malicious script, escalating privileges on systems running McAfee EDR for Mac.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trellix","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_detection_and_response","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"},{"id":"CWE-274","name":"Improper Handling of Insufficient Privileges"}],"description":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability in McAfee Exploit Detection and Response (EDR) for Mac prior to 3.1.0 Hotfix 1 allows a malicious script or program to perform functions that the local executing user has not been granted access to.","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 vulnerability in EDR for Mac","id":"CVE-2020-7288","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2020"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability in MAR for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-7289"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability in EDR for Linux","id":"CVE-2020-7287"},"products":["McAfee Exploit Detection and Response (EDR) for Mac"],"published":"2020-05-08","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability in EDR for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-7286","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability in EDR for Linux","id":"CVE-2020-7287","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-08"}],"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":"2024-09-17","vendors":["McAfee,LLC"]},"summary":"A local attacker can execute unauthorized functions via a malicious script, escalating privileges on systems running McAfee EDR for Mac.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7288/"}
