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-2023-25148 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Trendmicro Apex One. 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-2023-25148/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-25148/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-25148","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-25148/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-25148","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3wpp-5prr-27h8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Trend Micro Apex One","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges by exploiting a link following vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex One.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trendmicro","cpe":[{"product":"apex_one","vendor":"trendmicro"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","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":"A security agent link following vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex One could allow a local attacker to exploit the vulnerability by changing a specific file into a pseudo-symlink, allowing privilege escalation on affected installations.\r\n\r\nPlease note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.","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 Apex One","id":"CVE-2023-25148","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"trendmicro:apex_one","products":["trendmicro:apex_one"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"TimescaleDB has incorrect access control","id":"CVE-2023-25149"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Trend Micro Apex One","id":"CVE-2023-25147"},"products":["Trend Micro Apex One"],"published":"2023-03-07","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Trend Micro Apex One and OfficeScan Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2020-8599","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-03-18"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Trend Micro Apex One OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2025-54948","kev_date_added":"2025-08-18","published":"2025-08-05"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Trend Micro Multiple Products Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2021-36741","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-07-29"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Trend Micro Apex One and OfficeScan Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-8467","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-03-18"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Trend Micro Multiple Products Content Validation Escape","id":"CVE-2020-8468","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-03-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Trend Micro Multiple Products Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2021-36742","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-07-29"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Trend Micro Multiple Products Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2020-24557","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-09-01"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-03-05","vendors":["Trend Micro, Inc."]},"summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges by exploiting a link following vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex One.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-25148/"}
