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-2021-44023 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-2021-44023/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-44023/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-44023","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-44023/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-44023","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jx33-88wc-7x75"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Trend Micro Security","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can abuse the PC Health Checkup feature to create symlinks, modifying files and causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trendmicro","cpe":[{"product":"antivirus\\+_security_2021","vendor":"trendmicro"},{"product":"internet_security_2021","vendor":"trendmicro"},{"product":"maximum_security_2021","vendor":"trendmicro"},{"product":"premium_security_2021","vendor":"trendmicro"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"A link following denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability in the Trend Micro Security (Consumer) 2021 familiy of products could allow an attacker to abuse the PC Health Checkup feature of the product to create symlinks that would allow modification of files which could lead to 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-2021-44023","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":"Path traversal in Trend Micro Apex One","id":"CVE-2021-44024"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in Trend Micro Apex One","id":"CVE-2021-44022"},"products":["Trend Micro Security (Consumer)"],"published":"2021-12-16","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Other in Trend Micro Security (Consumer)","id":"CVE-2023-28929","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-26"}],"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":"Attackers can abuse the PC Health Checkup feature to create symlinks, modifying files and causing a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-44023/"}
