Improper privilege assignment vulnerability in the installer McAfee Application and Change Control (MACC) prior to 8.3.2 allows local administrators to change or update the configuration settings via a carefully constructed MSI configured to mimic the genuine installer. This version adds further controls for installation/uninstallation of software.
Weakness
A product incorrectly assigns a privilege to a particular actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
