CVE-2026-34926 is a directory traversal vulnerability affecting the on-premise Apex One server from Trend Micro. The flaw allows a pre-authenticated local attacker to use relative path traversal to escape intended filesystem restrictions on the server and modify a key internal table. By tampering with that server-side table, an attacker can inject malicious code that is subsequently deployed to Apex One agents on affected installations. The issue is limited to on-premise deployments and does not affect the SaaS-hosted server side. Public reporting indicates the vulnerability has been observed under active exploitation in the wild.
