[h=3]Systems Affected[/h] McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO)
[h=3]Overview[/h] A new exploit tool targets two vulnerabilities in McAfee’s ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO).
[h=3]Description[/h] A new exploit tool specifically built to attack McAfee’s ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) targets two vulnerabilities found in ePO versions 4.6.5 and earlier. In order to exploit these vulnerabilities the attacker must be on the local network.
[h=3]Impact[/h] The tool allows an attacker on the local network to add rogue systems to an enterprise ePO server, steal domain credentials if they are cached within ePO, upload files to the ePO server, and execute commands on the ePO server as well as any systems managed by ePO.
[h=3]Solution[/h] Identify Vulnerable ePO Versions
To determine whether your instance of ePO is vulnerable, please refer to Link Removed and Link Removed:
Update ePO
This tool poses a significant risk to enterprises that use ePO and the following mitigation steps are strongly advised.
Additionally, US-CERT recommends that administrators use dedicated remote administration consoles and set strict access controls that only allow specified systems to connect to the ePO server, reducing the potential attack surface.
