Cisco Immunet / Cisco AMP For Endpoints Scanning Denial Of Service

A vulnerability in the system scanning component of Cisco Immunet and Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for Endpoints running on Microsoft Windows could allow a local attacker to disable the scanning functionality of the product. This could allow executable files to be launched on the system without being analyzed for threats. The vulnerability is due to improper process resource handling. Cisco Immunet versions prior to 6.2.0 and Cisco AMP For Endpoints version 6.2.0 are affected.

[Multiple Products]
Cisco Immunet < v6.2.0 and Cisco AMP For Endpoints v6.2.0


Cisco Immunet is a free, cloud-based, community-driven antivirus application, using the ClamAV and its own engine.
The software is complementary with existing antivirus software.

Cisco AMP (Advanced Malware Protection)
Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) goes beyond point-in-time capabilities and is built to protect organizations before, during, and after an attack.


[Vulnerability Type]
System Scan Denial of Service

[Security Issue]
A vulnerability in the system scanning component of Cisco Immunet and Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) for Endpoints running on
Microsoft Windows could allow a local attacker to disable the scanning functionality of the product.

This could allow executable files to be launched on the system without being analyzed for threats.
The vulnerability is due to improper process resource handling.

An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by gaining local access to a system running Microsoft Windows and protected by Cisco Immunet or
Cisco AMP for Endpoints and executing a malicious file.

A successful exploit could allow the attacker to prevent the scanning services from functioning properly and ultimately prevent the system from
being protected from further intrusion.

There are no workarounds that address this vulnerability.

Issue is due to a NULL DACL (RW Everyone) resulting in a system scan Denial Of Service vulnerability for both of these endpoint protection programs.

The affected end user will get pop up warning box when attempting to perform a file or system scan,

"You Can Not Scan at This Time

"The Immunet service is not running.

Please restart the service and retry."

Below I provide details to exploit Cisco Immunet, however "Cisco AMP For Endpoints" is also affected so the exploit can easily be ported.
