CVE-2025-47866
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 · uneditedAn unrestricted file upload vulnerability in a Trend Micro Apex Central widget below version 8.0.6955 could allow an attacker to upload arbitrary files 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 · high confidenceAn unrestricted file upload vulnerability exists in the Trend Micro Apex Central widget component. Versions prior to 8.0.6955 lack proper validation on file uploads, allowing authenticated attackers to upload arbitrary files to the affected system.

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 Apex Central versionAccess the Apex Central console administrative interface and navigate to System Settings > About, or check the product's built-in version information to obtain the exact build numberAffected if The version displayed is 2019 or any build number earlier than 8.0.6955
-
Confirm authenticated access is availableVerify that user accounts exist and can log into the Apex Central web console with valid credentialsAffected if At least one authenticated user account can access the system, enabling the upload vector described in the CVE
-
Verify widget component is enabledCheck the Apex Central console for the widget feature/module - this is typically found in the dashboard or widget configuration settingsAffected if The widget component is present and enabled in the Apex Central installation
-
Compare version against vulnerability thresholdCross-reference the identified version number against the affected range: any version prior to 8.0.6955 is vulnerableAffected if The installed version is before 8.0.6955 (for example, version 2019 falls within the affected range)
The environment is affected if Trend Micro Apex Central version 2019 or any version prior to 8.0.6955 is installed and the widget component is accessible to authenticated users.
