CVE-2023-47201

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—

A plug-in manager origin validation vulnerability in the Trend Micro Apex One security agent could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges on affected installations.

Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.

This vulnerability is similar to, but not identical to, CVE-2023-47200.

CVSS
