This vulnerability (CVE-2026-45207) affects Trend Micro's TrendAI Apex One agent version 2019 (14.0). It involves an origin validation error (CWE-346) in the agent's process protection communication mechanism. A local attacker who can already execute code with low privileges on the system could exploit this flaw to escalate privileges, potentially gaining higher-level access. The vulnerability is similar in nature to CVE-2026-45206 but occurs in a different component. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates low attack complexity and privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vendor has not yet provided an official fix or remediation details, and no exploits are known in the wild at this time.

Successful exploitation allows a local attacker with low privileges to escalate their privileges on the affected system, potentially leading to full system compromise. The impact affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. However, exploitation requires prior ability to execute low-privileged code locally, limiting the initial attack vector. No known active exploitation has been reported.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, organizations should restrict local code execution privileges and monitor for suspicious local activity related to the TrendAI Apex One agent. No vendor-provided mitigation or temporary fix is currently available.
