CVE-2025-47867 is a high-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Trendmicro Apex Central. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 26% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

A Local File Inclusion vulnerability exists in a widget component of Trend Micro Apex Central versions below 8.0.6955. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2025-47867, permits an attacker to supply arbitrary files that are then executed as PHP code, resulting in remote code execution on the affected server. The issue carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.5 and is associated with CWE-74.

An attacker with low-privileged network access can exploit the vulnerability, although successful exploitation requires high attack complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation grants the attacker full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the target installation.

Vendor guidance and additional technical details are available in the Trend Micro solution article KA-0019355 and the Zero Day Initiative advisory ZDI-25-297. The EPSS score for this CVE remains flat at 0.0181 with no material increase observed since publication.

A.8.29 Security testing in development and acceptance mostly match
finds

Security testing in development catches injection vulnerabilities before release.

A.8.15 Logging partial match
finds

Logging supports detection of injection attempts but does not prevent the weakness.

A.8.16 Monitoring activities partial match
finds

Monitoring activities can identify active injection attacks after they occur.

A.8.25 Secure development life cycle partial match
prevents

Secure development life cycle mandates input validation and output encoding that directly prevent injection flaws.

A.8.26 Application security requirements partial match
prevents

Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection attacks in software design.

A.8.27 Secure system architecture and engineering principles partial match
prevents

Secure architecture principles reduce injection surfaces but do not prescribe specific neutralization techniques.
