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-2025-52521 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-2025-52521/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-52521/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-52521","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-52521/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-52521","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f8gc-2mmp-fjwc"],"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":"A local attacker can exploit link following to delete privileged Trend Micro files, leading to privilege escalation or service disruption.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trendmicro","cpe":[{"product":"maximum_security_2022","vendor":"trendmicro"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","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-64","name":"Windows Shortcut Following (.LNK)"}],"description":"Trend Micro Security 17.8 (Consumer) is vulnerable to a link following local privilege escalation vulnerability that could allow a local attacker to unintentionally delete privileged Trend Micro files including its own.","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-2025-52521","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Race condition in AMD Instinct™ MI210","id":"CVE-2025-52532"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Apache Tomcat: DoS via integer overflow in multipart file upload","id":"CVE-2025-52520"},"products":["Trend Micro Security (Consumer)"],"published":"2025-07-10","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Trend Micro Internet Security (Consumer)","id":"CVE-2025-49384","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-17"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Trend Micro Internet Security (Consumer)","id":"CVE-2025-49385","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-17"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Trend Micro Maximum Security (Consumer)","id":"CVE-2024-32849","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-10"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Path traversal in Trend Micro Maximum Security","id":"CVE-2022-30687","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Race condition in Trend Micro Maxium Security (Consumer)","id":"CVE-2022-48191","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-18"}],"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":"2026-02-26","vendors":["Trend Micro, Inc."]},"summary":"A local attacker can exploit link following to delete privileged Trend Micro files, leading to privilege escalation or service disruption.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-52521/"}
