An issue was discovered in Avast Antivirus before 20. The aswTask RPC endpoint for the TaskEx library in the Avast Service (AvastSvc.exe) allows attackers to enumerate the network interfaces and access points from a Low Integrity process via RPC.

Weakness

The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required.
