Checks for local information disclosure vulnerability in ePolicy Orchestrator

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server is prone to an information disclosure
vulnerability.

Description :

The remote host is running ePolicy Orchestrator / ProtectionPilot, a
system security management solution from McAfee.

According to its banner, the Common Management Agent (CMA) associated
with ePolicy Orchestrator / ProtectionPilot on the remote host can be
used by local users to view files residing on the same partition as
the affected application with LocalSystem level rights by creating
symbolic links in the agent's web root directory. This may enable
them to read files to which they would not otherwise have access.
