What is CVE-2022-24680?
This vulnerability allows a local attacker to exploit a security flaw in Trend Micro Apex One and related products. By creating a mount point, an attacker can leverage this issue for arbitrary folder deletion, which enables them to escalate privileges on affected installations. Importantly, successful exploitation requires that the attacker already has the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system. This makes it essential for organizations using affected products to apply appropriate security measures and updates.
