It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-36744 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Trend Micro Security (Consumer). No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36744/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36744/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-36744","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36744/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-36744","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-569p-vmxp-hg5x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Trend Micro Security","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit a directory junction vulnerability in Trend Micro Security to escalate privileges and cause a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trendmicro","cpe":[{"product":"maximum_security_2019","vendor":"trendmicro"},{"product":"maximum_security_2020","vendor":"trendmicro"},{"product":"maximum_security_2021","vendor":"trendmicro"},{"product":"security_for_best_buy","vendor":"trendmicro"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"Trend Micro Security (Consumer) 2021 and 2020 are vulnerable to a directory junction vulnerability which could allow an attacker to exploit the system to escalate privileges and create a denial of service.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in Trend Micro Security (Consumer)","id":"CVE-2021-36744","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in Trend Micro ServerProtect for EMC Celerra","id":"CVE-2021-36745"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Trend Micro Multiple Products Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2021-36742"},"products":["Trend Micro Security (Consumer)"],"published":"2021-09-06","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["Trend Micro"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit a directory junction vulnerability in Trend Micro Security to escalate privileges and cause a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36744/"}
