The version of McAfee Security Scan Plus installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 3.11.599.3. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw in the non-certificate-based authentication mechanism that is triggered during the handling of HTTP backend-responses. This may allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to make changes to the Windows registry value associated with the McAfee update.
