CVE-2022-41748

Anti-tampering bypass via incorrect DLP registry permissions

Published Oct 10, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Incorrect registry permissions in Trend Micro Apex One 2019 and SaaS DLP allow local users with administrative credentials to bypass anti-tampering controls. Trend Micro identifies the locus as DLP-related Windows registry permissions but does not disclose the affected keys or access-control entries. Administrative access to an affected Windows host is required, and successful exploitation defeats only unspecified elements of product self-protection.
