CVE-2025-31282
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 · uneditedA broken access control vulnerability previously discovered in the Trend Vision One User Account component could have allowed an administrator to create users who could then change the role of the account and ultimately escalate privileges. Please note: ths issue has already been addressed on the backend service and is no longer considered an active vulnerability.
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 confidenceA broken access control vulnerability in Trend Vision One's User Account component allowed newly created administrator accounts to modify their own role permissions, enabling privilege escalation. This appears to be an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) or improper authorization check where the system failed to properly restrict role modification for freshly created accounts.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify installed Trend Vision One versionAccess the Trend Vision One admin console and navigate to System Settings > About, or use the CLI command 'visionone --version' if available. Note the exact version and build number.Affected if The version shown is prior to the vendor patched version (if known) or if running any version of Trend Vision One prior to vendor confirmation of the fix.
-
Verify backend service patch statusContact Trend Micro support or check the Trend Vision One release notes/dashboard for backend service version information. Confirm whether the backend service has been updated to include the authorization fix for CVE-2025-31282.Affected if The backend service version does not include the CVE-2025-31282 fix, or cannot be verified as patched.
-
Review audit logs for role permission modificationsIn the Trend Vision One console, navigate to Audit Logs or Logging settings. Search for events related to 'role modification', 'permission change', or 'role assignment' performed by user accounts that were created within the past 7 days.Affected if Audit logs show role permission modifications performed by newly created administrator accounts modifying their own role permissions.
-
Check for unauthorized privilege escalationIn the User Management section, review all administrator accounts. Identify any accounts created recently and verify whether their assigned roles have been modified from the default role to elevated permissions (such as from Standard Admin to Super Admin or custom elevated roles).Affected if Newly created admin accounts have elevated role permissions that were not assigned at account creation, indicating potential exploitation.
A user is affected if the Trend Vision One deployment is running a version where the backend authorization fix has not been applied, or if audit logs show unauthorized role modifications by newly created administrator accounts.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedThe vulnerability has been addressed by the vendor on the backend service; verify that the Trend Vision One deployment is running a patched version to confirm the fix is applied.
