SYSTEM code execution via unsecured OpenSSL configuration
Published Jun 17, 2025 · Updated Jun 17, 2025
OpenSSL configuration loading in Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security Services 6.7 SaaS allows attackers to execute code as SYSTEM. The Windows agent loads an OpenSSL configuration file from an unsecured location, allowing attacker-controlled content to influence the privileged process. Exploitation requires physical access to a specific hardware component; successful code runs with SYSTEM privileges on the affected Windows endpoint.
