CVE-2025-69259 is a remote denial-of-service vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex Central on Windows, affecting versions prior to Build 7190. The flaw is in message handling performed by MsgReceiver.exe, specifically in processing a crafted message type associated with the log receiver path. When attacker-supplied user data does not contain the expected CRLF delimiter, a string-search operation can return NULL, but the return value is not validated before subsequent pointer arithmetic is performed. This results in invalid memory access and can terminate the affected service. The issue is reachable remotely and does not require authentication.
