A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 5.3.0/5.3.1/5.3.2/5.9.0 (Endpoint Management Software). This affects some unknown processing of the component XML File Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a path traversal vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-22. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, and integrity. The summary by CVE is:
