CVE Exploit-Status

🚨 CVE-2025-5777 – Trend Micro Apex Central Auth Bypass + RCE

🔎 Overview

CVE-2025-5777 is a critical authentication bypass and remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability discovered in Trend Micro Apex Central. It allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the system by abusing a flaw in the web-based management interface.

  • Severity: Critical
  • CVSS Score: 10.0
  • Attack Vector: Remote
  • Authentication Required: No
  • Affected Product: Trend Micro Apex Central
  • Affected Versions: Prior to Patch 2379
  • Status: Actively exploited in the wild

🧠 Technical Details

The vulnerability exists in the web interface of Trend Micro Apex Central. By sending a specially crafted HTTP request, an attacker can bypass authentication and trigger command execution with SYSTEM/root privileges.

📝 Note: This flaw impacts externally accessible deployments that have not applied the patch released in June 2025.

🧪 Proof of Concept (PoC)

🔸 HTTP Exploit Vector:

The PoC abuses a misconfigured authentication check in an internal endpoint, followed by injection of system commands.

📄 PoC Script:

cve-2025-5777-poc.py

root@kitploit:~
python3 cve-2025-5777-poc.py --target http://<target-ip> --cmd "whoami"

Replace <target-ip> with the vulnerable Apex Central instance address.

If successful, the command output (e.g., nt authority\system) will be returned in the HTTP response.

🛠️ Tools & Technologies Used

  • Python – scripting the exploit
  • Burp Suite – intercepting & modifying requests
  • Wireshark – packet analysis
  • Nmap – service enumeration
  • Trend Micro Apex Central – target application
  • GitHub – for publishing PoC & documentation

📝 Steps to Reproduce

  1. Deploy a vulnerable version of Trend Micro Apex Central (prior to Patch 2379).
  2. Run the exploit script with the target IP and desired command.
  3. Observe the output returned from the server (indicating code execution).
  4. Confirm system-level privileges via additional commands (whoami, id, etc.).

✅ Mitigation

  • Update Trend Micro Apex Central to Patch 2379 or later.

  • Restrict public access to the Apex Central web interface.

  • Monitor logs for unusual system command execution patterns.

  • Use network-layer controls to prevent unauthenticated access.

⚠️ Disclaimer:
This PoC is created strictly for educational and demonstration purposes.
Unauthorized use against systems you do not own or have permission to test is illegal.
