The vulnerability CVE-2020-7318 received a CVSS v3.1 score of 4.6.
Mikhail Klyuchnikov explained: “The vulnerability is caused by improper filtering of user data. It is a classic XSS vulnerability. Attackers can trick system administrators into following a malicious link and performing illegitimate actions in the administrator panel on the administrator’s behalf, by exploiting the panel’s standard functions, or search for additional vulnerabilities to breach other network segments. Attackers can be both internal and external.”
To eliminate the vulnerability, users need to update the system to ePO 5.10.0 Update 9.
Previously, Positive Technologies had discovered a dangerous vulnerability in McAfee ATM security software.
