CVE-2024-36302 is a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Trend Micro Apex One security agent caused by improper origin validation. The flaw affects trust decisions made by the agent and can allow a locally present attacker to abuse a trusted interaction path to perform actions with elevated privileges. Available reporting indicates the issue was identified in the context of a COM interface used by Apex One, where hijacking an associated per-user registry registration enabled a replay-style attack against privileged functionality. The vulnerability is similar to, but distinct from, CVE-2024-36303. Successful exploitation requires the attacker to already have the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system.
