Summary

An improper access restriction to a folder in Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools for Mac (BEST) before 7.20.52.200087 allows local users with administrative privileges to bypass the configured uninstall password protection.

Risk Assessment

A user with sudo privileges can remove security software, weakening endpoint protection. This may enable further attacks and violate security policy.
