How the Exploit Works

The CVE-2025-47867 vulnerability exploits the insecure handling of file inclusion functions in the Trend Micro Apex Central widget. An attacker can manipulate these functions to include arbitrary files from the local file system, allowing them to execute PHP code remotely. This could enable the attacker to take control of the system or leak sensitive data.

Conceptual Example Code

The following is a conceptual example of how this vulnerability might be exploited. An HTTP request with a malicious payload could be used to trigger the vulnerability.

POST /vulnerable/endpoint HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
file=../../../etc/passwd

In this example, the attacker is attempting to include the /etc/passwd file, which contains user account details on Unix-based systems. If successful, the attacker could potentially access sensitive information or execute arbitrary code on the server.

Mitigation Guidance

Users of affected versions of Trend Micro Apex Central Widget are advised to upgrade to version 8.0.6955 or later, which contains a fix for this vulnerability. In the interim, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can be used to detect and block attempts to exploit this vulnerability.
