“A LoadLibraryEX vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex Central could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to load an attacker-controlled DLL into a key executable, leading to execution of attacker-supplied code under the context of SYSTEM on affected installations,” Trend Micro said in a security advisory published this week.
According to cybersecurity company Tenable, which identified the flaw and provided details and example code, unauthenticated remote attackers can send a specially crafted message to the MsgReceiver.exe process listening on TCP port 20001, “leading to execution of attacker-supplied code under the security context of SYSTEM.”
Though there are some factors that lessen the risk, Trend Micro advised customers to update their systems promptly.
“In addition to timely application of patches and updated solutions, customers are also advised to review remote access to critical systems and ensure policies and perimeter security is up-to-date,” Trend Micro added.
“However, even though an exploit may require several specific conditions to be met, Trend Micro strongly encourages customers to update to the latest builds as soon as possible.”
To fix this issue, Trend Micro has released Critical Patch Build 7190, which also addresses two denial-of-service vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-69259 and CVE-2025-69260) that can be exploited by attackers without authentication.
The company fixed a remote code execution vulnerability in Apex Central (CVE-2022-26871) three years ago, alerting customers that it was being actively exploited.
