The version of McAfee Agent, formerly McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) Agent, installed on the remote host is prior to 5.7.4. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:
Improper access control vulnerability in the repair process for McAfee Agent for Windows prior to 5.7.4 could allow a local attacker to perform a DLL preloading attack using unsigned DLLs. This would result in elevation of privileges and the ability to execute arbitrary code as the system user, through not correctly protecting a temporary directory used in the repair process and not checking the DLL signature.
(CVE-2021-31847)
A DLL sideloading vulnerability in McAfee Agent for Windows prior to 5.7.4 could allow a local user to perform a DLL sideloading attack with an unsigned DLL with a specific name and in a specific location.
This would result in the user gaining elevated permissions and the ability to execute arbitrary code as the system user, through not checking the DLL signature. (CVE-2021-31841)
Improper privilege management vulnerability in maconfig for McAfee Agent for Windows prior to 5.7.4 allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information. The utility was able to be run from any location on the file system and by a low privileged user. (CVE-2021-31836)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
