The version of McAfee Total Protection installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 16.0.30. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, including the following:
Bypass Remote Procedure call in McAfee Total Protection (MTP) prior to 16.0.30 allows a local user to gain elevated privileges and perform arbitrary file modification as the SYSTEM user potentially causing Denial of Service via executing carefully constructed malware. (CVE-2021-23876)
Arbitrary Process Execution vulnerability in McAfee Total Protection (MTP) prior to 16.0.30 allows a local user to gain elevated privileges and execute arbitrary code bypassing MTP self-defense. (CVE-2021-23874)
Privilege Escalation vulnerability in McAfee Total Protection (MTP) prior to 16.0.30 allows a local user to gain elevated privileges and perform arbitrary file deletion as the SYSTEM user potentially causing Denial of Service via manipulating Junction link, after enumerating certain files, at a specific time.
(CVE-2021-23873)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
