Trend Micro Multiple Products Improper Input Validation Vulnerability
Trend Micro · Apex One, Apex One as a Service, and Worry-Free Business Security
A improper input validation flaw in Trend Micro's Apex One, Apex One as a Service, OfficeScan XG and Worry-Free Business Security 10.0 SP1 products allows privilege escalation on affected installations. An attacker needs local access and must already be able to run low-privileged code on the target system, with no user interaction required.
A improper input validation vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex One, Apex One as a Service, OfficeScan XG and Worry-Free Business Security 10.0 SP1 allows a local attacker to escalate privileges on affected installations. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
