Technical details

A directory traversal vulnerability (CWE-22) exists in the Trend Micro Apex One management console due to improper validation of user-supplied strings before they are used in system calls. The flaw is located within a specific executable in the console, which typically listens on TCP ports 8080 and 4343. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by sending a specially crafted request to upload malicious code and execute it in the context of the IUSR account. Trend Micro has released Critical Patch Build 14136 for on-premises installations and has already mitigated the issue for SaaS customers.
