Improper privilege management vulnerability in McAfee Agent for Windows prior to 5.7.3 allows a local user to modify event information in the MA event folder. This allows a local user to either add false events or remove events from the event logs prior to them being sent to the ePO server.

Weakness

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
