CVE-2020-7255

Privilege escalation vulnerability in the administrative user interface in McAfee Endpoint Security (ENS) for Windows prior to 10.7.0 February 2020 Update allows local users to gain elevated privileges via ENS not checking user permissions when editing configuration in the ENS client interface. Administrators can lock the ENS client interface through ePO to prevent users being able to edit the configuration.
