HighCVSS 7.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk28th percentile - higher than 28% of all known CVEs
Summary
An origin validation error vulnerability in the Trend Micro Apex One (mac) agent iCore service could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges on affected installations. The attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system.
Risk Assessment
A local attacker can gain elevated privileges, potentially leading to full system compromise.
Recommendation
Apply the ActiveUpdate/SaaS updates (SaaS 2507 and 2005 Yearly Release) that already address this issue.
