Synopsis

The remote Windows host is running an application that is affected by an remote code execution vulnerability.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Trend Micro application running on the remote Windows host is Apex Central prior to patch 3 build 6016. It is, therefore, affected by an arbitrary file upload vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this to upload arbitrary files to an affected host. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in arbitrary code execution.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Trend Micro Apex Central patch 3 build 6016 or later.
