Summary

CVE-2024-58105 is a high-severity Incorrect User Management (CWE-286) vulnerability in Trendmicro Apex One. Its CVSS base score is 7.3 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Account Manipulation (T1098); ranked at the 5th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-2 (Account Management) and IA-4 (Identifier Management) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2024-58105 is a vulnerability in the Trend Micro Apex One Security Agent Plug-in User Interface Manager that could allow a local attacker to bypass existing security controls and execute arbitrary code on affected installations. This issue addresses an additional bypass not covered in CVE-2024-58104 and is associated with CWE-286 (Missing Authorization). The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.3 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system. A local attacker with low privileges (PR:L) and requiring user interaction (UI:R) can then leverage low attack complexity (AC:L) to bypass security mechanisms, achieving arbitrary code execution with high impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

AC-2 Account Management good match

AC-2 directly requires defining, assigning, and controlling user accounts throughout their lifecycle, structurally preventing improper user management.

IA-4 Identifier Management good match

IA-4 mandates authorized management of user identifiers, stopping the creation or retention of unmanaged user identities.

PS-4 Personnel Termination partial match

PS-4 enforces timely disabling and removal of access upon termination, addressing a key failure mode of incorrect ongoing user management.

PR.AA-01 mostly match
prevents

Directly addresses management of user identities and credentials throughout their lifecycle.

PR.AA-05 mostly match
prevents

Covers policy-driven definition and review of user permissions and entitlements.

PR.AA-02 partial match
prevents

Supports proper user onboarding by binding verified identities to credentials.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

A.5.16 Identity management mostly match
prevents

Identity management directly governs the full lifecycle of user accounts, preventing incorrect user management.

A.5.18 Access rights mostly match
prevents

Access rights provisioning and de-provisioning ensure users are correctly created, modified, and removed.

A.6.5 Responsibilities after termination or change of employment mostly match
prevents

Responsibilities after termination or change of employment address removal of user access but not ongoing user management.

A.8.2 Privileged access rights mostly match
prevents

Privileged access rights assume correct user accounts exist; the control does not manage user creation or removal.

A.5.15 Access control partial match
prevents

Access control policies rely on accurate user management but do not themselves define user lifecycle processes.

A.8.3 Information access restriction partial match
mitigates

Information access restriction depends on properly managed users but does not address user management itself.
