critical Nessus Plugin ID 282525

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host is running an application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

According to its self-reported version, the Trend Micro Apex Central application installed on the remote Windows host is prior to Build 7190. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as described in Trend Micro Solution ID KA-0022071:

 - 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. (CVE-2025-69258)
- A message unchecked NULL return value vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex Central could allow a remote attacker to create a denial-of-service condition on affected installations. Please note: authentication is not required in order to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2025-69259)

 - A message out-of-bounds read vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex Central could allow a remote attacker to create a denial-of-service condition on affected installations. Please note: authentication is not required in order to exploit this vulnerability. (CVE-2025-69260)

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 Build 7190 or later.
