CVE-2026-45207
HighCVSS 7.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk12th percentile - higher than 12% of all known CVEs
Summary
An origin validation vulnerability in the Apex One/SEP agent could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges. Similar to CVE-2026-45206 but in a different process protection communication mechanism. The attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code.
Risk Assessment
A local attacker can gain higher privileges on the system, potentially leading to full compromise of the security software and possibly the entire system.
Recommendation
Apply updates provided by the vendor (Trend Micro) for the Apex One/SEP agent that fix this vulnerability.
