CVE-2024-0206

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Trellix Anti-Malware Engine versions prior to January 2024 release

Description A symbolic link manipulation issue allows an authenticated local user to potentially gain an escalation of privileges. This is achieved by adding an entry to the registry under the Trellix ENS registry folder with a symbolic link to files that the user wouldn't normally have permission to. After a scan, the Engine would follow the links and remove the files.

Recommendations For versions prior to the January 2024 release, update to the January 2024 release or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Trellix ENS registry folder to minimize the risk of exploitation.
