Descriptions

Vulnerable modules of Trend Micro Apex Central (on-premise) contain vulnerabilities which would allow authenticated users to perform a SQL injection that could lead to remote code execution.

Please note: an attacker must first obtain authentication on the target system in order to exploit these vulnerabilities.

This is similar to, but not identical to CVE-2023-32530.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Trend Micro Apex Central. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.
The specific flaw exists within the processing of delete_cert_vec requests to the modTMMS endpoint. When parsing the id parameter, the process does not properly validate a user-supplied string before using it to construct SQL queries. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the IUSR user.
