CVE-2020-7265
Estado: ModificadaAlta (8.4)—
Privilege Escalation vulnerability in McAfee Endpoint Security (ENS) for Mac prior to 10.6.9 allows local users to delete files the user would otherwise not have access to via manipulating symbolic links to redirect a McAfee delete action to an unintended file. This is achieved through running a malicious script or program on the target machine.
