This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator prior to version 3.5.5.438. A successful attack can lead to arbitrary code execution.
The McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator framework service is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability that can lead to complete system compromise.. The application fails to sanitize user input when accepting POST requests on the '/spipe/pkg' interface. Specifically, the script fails to sanitize input for proper directory and filename, allowing an attacker to conduct a directory-traversal attack that can overwrite existing files or place arbitrary files on a vulnerable computer. A successful exploit may allow unauthorized remote users to overwrite existing files or place arbitrary files on a vulnerable computer.
