An exposed dangerous function vulnerability in the Trend Micro Apex One and Apex One as a Service security agent could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges and write an arbitrary value to specific Trend Micro agent subkeys 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 is a similar, but not identical vulnerability as CVE-2023-34147 and CVE-2023-34148.
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check.
