Local file disclosure via mount-point link following
Published Jun 10, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Link following in the Trend Micro Apex One Security Agent allows local users to disclose sensitive files through a mount point. The VsApiNT module follows an attacker-created mount point and returns a file's contents under the agent's SYSTEM context. Low-privileged code execution on a Windows endpoint is required; affected builds precede 14.0.0.12980 on-premises and 14.0.13139 in SaaS.
