Trend Micro Confirms Active Exploitation of Critical Apex One Flaws in On-Premise Systems
Briefly

Trend Micro has released mitigations for critical vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-54948 and CVE-2025-54987, in their Apex One Management Console, rated 9.4 on the CVSS. These vulnerabilities involve command injection and remote code execution, allowing attackers to upload malicious code. Although both flaws are similar, they affect different CPU architectures. Trend Micro has observed active exploitation attempts. Mitigations for on-premise versions are available via a fix tool, with a formal patch expected in mid-August 2025. The tool protects against known exploits but disables the Remote Install Agent function for administrators.
