CVE-2024-52049 is a privilege escalation vulnerability affecting Trend Micro Apex One. This LogServer link following issue allows a local attacker, who has already gained low-privileged access to the system, to potentially escalate their privileges. While the CVSS score is 0, indicating a low base severity, the SVRS score of 30 suggests a slightly elevated risk due to its presence "In The Wild", though not immediately critical. This means exploitation has been observed. The risk is that a malicious actor with limited access could leverage this vulnerability to gain full control of the affected system. System administrators should investigate and apply available patches to mitigate potential risks. The significance stems from enabling lateral movement within a network for attackers.
