CVE-2020-7336

Unauthorized configuration change via CSRF request

Published Jan 5, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Cross-Site Request Forgery in McAfee Network Security Manager before 10.1.7.35 and 9.2.9.55 allows attackers to change configuration via HTTP requests. The web interface accepts a carefully crafted state-changing request without verifying its origin, so remote attackers can alter manager settings when an authenticated user is induced to load the request. Impact is configuration integrity loss; the record does not establish data disclosure or arbitrary code execution.
