Trend Micro has issued updates to address multiple vulnerabilities in Apex One, classified from High to Critical severity. These include management console issues that could lead to remote code execution (RCE).

The identified vulnerabilities are listed under CVEs ranging from CVE-2025-71210 to CVE-2025-71217, with CVSS v3 scores between 7.2 and 9.8.

The February 2026 advisory identifies Apex One 2019 (on-prem) for Windows and Apex One as a Service (Trend Vision One Endpoint – Standard Endpoint Protection) on Windows as affected.

Trend Micro advises users to update to the latest available builds to fully address these vulnerabilities.

Two critical vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-71210 and CVE-2025-71211, involve console directory traversal RCE vulnerabilities (CWE-22) within the Apex One management console. These can allow the execution of malicious code on compromised systems.

Exploitation requires access to the Apex One Management Console. Exposure through external IP addresses increases risk, prompting recommendations for source restrictions.

Additional vulnerabilities involve local privilege escalation (LPE) issues, affecting Windows components, including link following (CWE-59) and origin validation errors (CWE-346).
