Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
A Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex Central (on-premise) modOSCE component could allow an attacker to manipulate certain parameters leading to information disclosure on affected installations.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This is a Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability in the modOSCE component of Trend Micro Apex Central on-premise. The vulnerability allows attackers to manipulate certain parameters to perform unauthorized requests and potentially disclose sensitive information from the affected system.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied patches or updates for Trend Micro Apex Central. If no patch is available, implement strict input validation and network segmentation to limit the impact of SSRF exploitation.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Trend Micro Apex Central installation
    Locate the Apex Central installation directory or check system inventory for 'Trend Micro Apex Central' software
    Affected if The software is not installed or is a different product
  2. Identify installed Apex Central version
    Check the version number of the Apex Central installation - verify if it is exactly version 2019
    Affected if The installed version is exactly 2019
  3. Check modOSCE component presence
    Examine the Apex Central installation for the modOSCE component or module - look for modOSCE-related directories, files, or services
    Affected if The modOSCE component is present and installed
  4. Verify modOSCE is enabled
    Check Apex Central configuration settings or services to determine if modOSCE component is actively enabled
    Affected if modOSCE is enabled and running
  5. Review network configuration for modOSCE
    Inspect network listening ports or proxy settings associated with modOSCE to confirm it can accept external requests
    Affected if modOSCE is accessible via network and can make outbound requests
  6. Check for indicators of exploitation
    Review Apex Central logs for suspicious outgoing requests or unauthorized internal network calls originating from the modOSCE component
    Affected if Unusual SSRF-style requests appear in logs

A system is affected if it runs Trend Micro Apex Central version 2019 with the modOSCE component enabled, as this combination allows the SSRF vulnerability to be exploited.
