Trellix xAgent permission bypass vulnerability

Improper preservation of permissions vulnerability in Trellix Endpoint Agent (xAgent) prior to V35.31.22 on Windows allows a local user with administrator privileges to bypass the product protection to uninstall the agent via incorrectly applied permissions in the removal protection functionality.

A vulnerability identified in the HX Agent driver file fekern.sys allowed a threat actor with local user access the ability to gain elevated system privileges. Utilization of a Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) was leveraged to gain access to the critical Windows process memory lsass.exe (Local Security Authority Subsystem Service). The fekern.sys is a driver file associated with the HX Agent (used in all existing HX Agent versions). The vulnerable driver installed in a product or a system running a fully functional HX Agent is, itself, not exploitable as the product’s tamper protection restricts the ability to communicate with the driver to only the Agent’s processes.

A content-security-policy vulnerability in ENS Control browser extension prior to 10.7.0 Update 15 allows a remote attacker to alter the response header parameter setting to switch the content security policy into report-only mode, allowing an attacker to bypass the content-security-policy configuration.

A code injection vulnerability in Trellix ENS 10.7.0 April 2023 release and earlier, allowed a local user to disable the ENS AMSI component via environment variables, leading to denial of service and or the execution of arbitrary code.
