CVSS 2.0
7.2
HighMetricsAV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
McAfee Endpoint Product Removal (EPR) Tool versions prior to 21.2
Description:
The issue allows local administrators to execute arbitrary code with higher-level privileges via execution from a compromised folder. The tool did not enforce and protect the execution path, requiring local admin privileges to place files in the required location.
Recommendations:
For versions prior to 21.2, update to version 21.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the execution path to minimize the risk of exploitation.
