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-2025-71212 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-2025-71212/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71212/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-71212","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71212/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-71212","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mp94-hxv8-mxq5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint security software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker with low-privileged code execution can escalate privileges via a link following vulnerability in the Trend Micro Apex One scan engine.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trendmicro","cpe":[{"product":"apex_one","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-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"A link following vulnerability in the Trend Micro Apex One scan engine could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges 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":"Privilege escalation in TrendAI Apex One","id":"CVE-2025-71212","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"trendmicro:apex_one","products":["trendmicro:apex_one"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in TrendAI Apex One","id":"CVE-2025-71213"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in TrendAI Apex One","id":"CVE-2025-71211"},"products":["TrendAI Apex One","TrendAI Apex One as a Service"],"published":"2026-05-21","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":"2026-05-21","vendors":["Trend Micro, Inc."]},"summary":"A local attacker with low-privileged code execution can escalate privileges via a link following vulnerability in the Trend Micro Apex One scan engine.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-71212/"}
