CVE-2023-32530 is an authenticated SQL injection vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex Central 2019 Build 6016 and earlier. The flaw is in the modTMMS certificate-handling workflow: the AddCert() function constructs an SQLite INSERT statement by concatenating certificate-derived, user-controlled values without adequate input validation. A user with any Apex Central role can submit a crafted X.509 certificate to exploit the injection. Because the affected component uses SQLite, the injection can be leveraged to write a PHP file to the webroot and execute system commands on the Apex Central server as the IUSR user.
