Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Requires a pre-existing local, low-privileged interactive account on a Windows host with Intego Antivirus for Windows (version through 3.0.0.1) installed and its optimization/duplicate-scan module in use. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | This is a credible but bounded privilege-escalation risk rather than a mass-exploitation emergency. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released fixed version is identified in the available data; users should monitor Intego's site (https://www.intego.com/) and the VulnCheck advisory (https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/intego-antivirus-through-3.0.0.1-local-privilege-escalation-via-optimization-module-junction) for a patched release beyond 3.0.0.1. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all Windows endpoints running Intego Antivirus for Windows at version 3.0.0.1 or earlier and confirm whether the optimization/duplicate-scan module is enabled; where it is, disable or restrict that module for non-administrative users and block standard users from invoking its scan/cleanup features, since publicly available exploit code exists and no vendor patch is available at this time. …
