Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2025-69258 is a critical remote code execution vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex Central (on-premise) for Windows affecting versions earlier than Build 7190. The flaw is in the MsgReceiver.exe message-handling path that processes a request causing a DLL name supplied by the remote sender to be passed to LoadLibraryExA. By sending a specially crafted message to the MsgReceiver service, an unauthenticated attacker can cause a key executable to load an attacker-controlled DLL, including from a remote path, resulting in execution of attacker-supplied code. The loaded code runs in the security context of SYSTEM, making the issue a low-complexity, no-user-interaction network RCE.
