Description

 McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to execute arbitrary code with system privileges. The flaw is due to the server not properly sanitizing HTTP POST requests. If an attacker supplies a specially crafted request, they may be able to create arbitrary files. With the right files, it is possible to create an installation package that would be executed under some circumstances, allowing arbitrary commands and files to be run with the privileges of the ePo server.
