Two critical vulnerabilities in Trend Micro Apex One allow remote code execution, leading to complete endpoint security bypass.

Mechanism

Remote code execution vulnerabilities in Trend Micro Apex One can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the endpoint, potentially disabling or bypassing the EDR agent's detection capabilities.

Detection & mitigation

Monitor for unexpected termination or modification of Trend Micro Apex One processes and services using endpoint telemetry (e.g., Sysmon Event ID 1 for process creation, Event ID 5 for process termination). Mitigate by promptly applying vendor patches and enforcing application control to prevent unauthorized execution.
