critical Nessus Plugin ID 102355

Language:

Synopsis

The security application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a MitM command execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of McAfee Security Scan Plus installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 3.11.587.1. It is, therefore, affected by a flaw that is triggered as HTML elements for displaying the Protection Level in the UI are requested using a cleartext protocol.
This may allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to spoof server responses and execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the context of the application.

Solution

Upgrade to McAfee Security Scan Plus version 3.11.587.1 or later.
