CVE-2025-54948

Trend Micro Apex One

Trend Micro Apex One Management Console (on-premise) contains an OS command injection vulnerability that could allow a pre-authenticated remote attacker to upload malicious code and execute commands on affected installations.

Exploitation status

  • CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
  • US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2025-09-08. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.

Required action

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.

CISA’s wording, unedited.
