CVE-2023-32523 is an improper authentication vulnerability in Trend Micro Mobile Security (Enterprise) 9.8 SP5, including builds up to Critical Patch 3. The flaw affects widget functionality exposed by the application and allows an attacker to bypass authentication by abusing session handling and user initialization logic. Specifically, the vulnerable workflow trusts a user-controlled session value to populate the username stored in server-side session state, and the associated user-handling logic can automatically create a non-existent account with a blank password. As a result, an unauthenticated attacker can obtain a valid authenticated application session without legitimate credentials. The vulnerability is especially dangerous because it can be chained with separate unrestricted file upload and local file inclusion flaws in the same product to achieve pre-authenticated remote code execution.
