Data disclosure and alteration via extension-import XXE
Published Mar 23, 2022 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
XML external entity injection in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator before 5.10 Update 13 allows remote authenticated users to read or alter data. The extension import path parses attacker-supplied XML while permitting external entity resolution, so referenced resources can enter processing. Exploitation requires remote administrator access and a malicious extension upload; the published impact is limited to confidential information access and data alteration.
