CVE-2020-7264

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions McAfee Endpoint Security (ENS) for Windows versions prior to 10.7.0 Hotfix 199847

Description The issue allows local users to delete files they would otherwise not have access to by manipulating symbolic links. This manipulation redirects a McAfee delete action to an unintended file, which can be achieved by running a malicious script or program on the target machine.

Recommendations For versions prior to 10.7.0 Hotfix 199847, update to version 10.7.0 Hotfix 199847 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the symbolic link manipulation functionality to minimize the risk of exploitation.
