McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator exploitation tool

US-CERT’s latest advisory focuses on an exploit tool for McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator. The tool 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.

By using the tool, an attacker on the local network could 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.

More information on the vulnerability and mitigation can be found in McAfee’s knowledge base
