Vulnerability Published: 2013-07-12
Patch Published: N/A
CVE [?]: CVE-2013-4883
CPE [?]: cpe:/a:mcafee:epolicy_orchestrator

Synopsis

A security management application on the remote host has multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the version of McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) running on the remote host is 4.6.6 or earlier, and therefore, has multiple reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. An attacker could exploit any of these issues by tricking a user into requesting a specially crafted URL, resulting in arbitrary script code execution.

Solution

There is no solution available at this time.

McAfee plans on fixing these vulnerabilities in ePO version 4.6.7, which is scheduled to be released in late Q3 2013.
