Exploit Prevention alert is triggered even if it is disabled after importing Endpoint Security settings with the ESConfig tool

Technical Articles ID: KB92387
Last Modified: 7/30/2020

Environment

McAfee Endpoint Security (ENS) Threat Prevention 10.7.x, 10.6.x

Problem

An Exploit Prevention alert is triggered, even if it is disabled, after you import ENS settings with the ESConfig tool.

The issue occurs when you disable Exploit Prevention when you import the settings with the ESConfig tool. The issue does not occur when you disable Exploit Prevention manually using the ENS Client or policy enforcement from ePolicy Orchestrator.

Solution

This issue is resolved in ENS 10.6.1 July 2020 Update and ENS 10.7.0 July 2020 Update.

McAfee Enterprise product software, upgrades, maintenance releases, and documentation are available from the Product Downloads site.

NOTE: You need a valid Grant Number for access. See KB56057 - How to download Enterprise product updates and documentation for more information about the Product Downloads site, and alternate locations for some products.

Workaround

Reboot the operating system after you import the ENS settings with the ESConfig tool. After the reboot, Exploit Prevention alerts are not triggered if they are disabled.
