CVE-2023-32537Network attack vector

Authenticated script execution via unsanitized reflected input

Published Jun 26, 2023 · Updated Oct 21, 2024

Reflected XSS in Trend Micro Apex Central 2019 before build 6394 allows remote authenticated users to execute browser script via crafted input. The web console reflects user-controlled input into generated pages without adequate validation or output sanitization; Trend Micro has not disclosed the affected endpoint or parameter. Authentication to the target console is required, and the vendor bounds the consequence to limited confidentiality exposure rather than data modification or service interruption.
