Technical details

An origin validation error (CWE-346) exists within the Apex One NT Listener service. The vulnerability stems from the service's failure to sufficiently validate the origin of commands it receives. To exploit this, an attacker must already have the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target Windows system. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. Trend Micro has released Critical Patch Build 14136 for on-premises installations and Security Agent Build 14.0.20315 for SaaS versions to remediate this issue.
