Deeper analysis

CVE-2024-39753 is a SQL injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-89, that affects the modOSCE component of Trend Micro Apex One. The flaw permits a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations when the necessary conditions are met. The CVSS 7.5 score reflects network attack vector, high attack complexity, low privileges required, and high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system before the SQL injection can be leveraged. Once that foothold exists, successful exploitation grants the attacker the ability to run arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected process, potentially leading to full compromise of the Apex One installation.

Trend Micro has published mitigation guidance in solution KA-0016669, and the Zero Day Initiative has released advisory ZDI-24-897 detailing the issue. The EPSS score has remained flat at 0.0933 with no material increase after disclosure.
