Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

The vulnerability CVE-2025-47867 is a critical Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability identified in Trend Micro Apex Central widget in versions below 8.0.6955. This vulnerability puts systems at risk of potential compromise or data leakage, allowing an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary PHP code. Given the severity of this vulnerability, it is crucial for affected users to implement mitigation measures immediately.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-47867

\nAttack Vector: Local File Inclusion
\nPrivileges Required: Low
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: Potential system compromise and data leakage<\/p>\n

Affected Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Product | Affected Versions<\/p>\n

Trend Micro Apex Central Widget | Versions before 8.0.6955<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

POST \/vulnerable\/endpoint HTTP\/1.1\nHost: target.example.com\nContent-Type: application\/x-www-form-urlencoded\nfile=..\/..\/..\/etc\/passwd<\/code><\/pre>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Mitigation Guidance<\/strong><\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
