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-2020-7314 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: McAfee DXL for Mac shipped with 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-2020-7314/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7314/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-7314","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7314/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-7314","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jgjp-57q6-q7hv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"McAfee DXL Client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges to root via insecure temporary file permissions in the McAfee DXL Client installer for Mac.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trellix","cpe":[{"product":"mcafee_agent","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in the installer in McAfee Data Exchange Layer (DXL) Client for Mac shipped with McAfee Agent (MA) for Mac prior to MA 5.6.6 allows local users to run commands as root via incorrectly applied permissions on 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 vulnerability in McAfee DXL for Mac","id":"CVE-2020-7314","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":"DLL Injection vulnerability in MA for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-7315"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DLL Search Order Hijacking in MA for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-7312"},"products":["McAfee DXL for Mac shipped with MA"],"published":"2020-09-10","related":[{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"DLL side loading vulnerability in MA for Windows","id":"CVE-2021-31841","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-22"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation vulnerability in MA for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-7311","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"DLL Search Order Hijacking in MA for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-7312","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-10"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"DLL preload vulnerability in McAfee Agent for Windows","id":"CVE-2021-31840","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-10"},{"cvss_score":6,"headline":"DLL Injection vulnerability in MA for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-7315","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-10"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Other in McAfee Agent","id":"CVE-2017-3896","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-13"}],"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":"Local attackers can escalate privileges to root via insecure temporary file permissions in the McAfee DXL Client installer for Mac.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-7314/"}
