Hi,

enSilo just exposed a security vulnerability appearing in various Anti-Virus (AV) products which has the potential to turn Anti-Virus to an attack-enabler tool. Other antivirus product such as Kaspersky, AVG, & McAffee are affected by this vulnerability.

They released a custom tool that could test other antivirus solutions for this very same bug. I ran the tool on my computer and it shows that Avast are also vulnerable.

Are you guys aware of this? I also want to confirm whether the tool from enSilo returned an accurate result or just a false positive.

Thanks.

avast cloud version 10.3.2508…
