DESCRIPTION:
Nahuel Grisolía has reported a vulnerability in McAfee Email Gateway,
which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security
restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to the Web Access interface
performing insufficient checks for requests received from
unprivileged users. This can be exploited by a user without write
privileges to make configuration changes and e.g. add an
administrative user.

The vulnerability is reported in version 6.7.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to the Web Access console to trusted users only.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Nahuel Grisolía, Cybsec
