An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-69258 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Trend Micro Apex Central. 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-2025-69258/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-69258/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-69258","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-69258/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-69258","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mf42-gw23-xrx2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Trend Micro Apex Central","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges via DLL hijacking in Trend Micro Apex Central.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trendmicro","cpe":[{"product":"apex_central","vendor":"trendmicro"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-346","name":"Origin Validation Error"},{"id":"CWE-290","name":"Authentication Bypass by Spoofing"},{"id":"CWE-120","name":"Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input"}],"description":"A LoadLibraryEX vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex Central could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to load an attacker-controlled DLL into a key executable, leading to execution of attacker-supplied code under the context of SYSTEM on affected installations.","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":"Code injection in Trend Micro Apex Central","id":"CVE-2025-69258","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Null dereference in Trend Micro Apex Central","id":"CVE-2025-69259"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"theshit vulnerable to unsafe loading of user-owned Python rules when running as root.","id":"CVE-2025-69257"},"products":["Trend Micro Apex Central"],"published":"2026-01-08","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Trend Micro Apex Central Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2022-26871","kev_date_added":"2022-03-31","published":"2022-03-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in Trend Micro Apex Central","id":"CVE-2025-49219","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-17"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in Trend Micro Apex Central","id":"CVE-2025-49220","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"File upload in Trend Micro Apex Central","id":"CVE-2023-52324","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-23"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"SQL injection in Trend Micro Apex Central","id":"CVE-2023-32529","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-26"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"SQL injection in Trend Micro Apex Central","id":"CVE-2023-32530","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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-02-26","vendors":["Trend Micro, Inc."]},"summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges via DLL hijacking in Trend Micro Apex Central.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-69258/"}
