Trend Micro

Trend Micro, a major cybersecurity and antivirus software vendor, has a high-severity local privilege escalation vulnerability (CVSS 7.8) that requires local access and low-level user privileges but requires no user interaction to exploit, potentially allowing attackers to gain full system control. The vulnerability affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. Security teams should monitor for patches from Trend Micro before the February 2026 deadline and prioritize updates for systems where local users may have untrusted access.
