Proxy command injection vulnerability in Trend Micro InterScan Messaging Virtual Appliance 9.0 and 9.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations. The specific flaw can be exploited by parsing the "t" parameter within modTMCSS Proxy. Formerly ZDI-CAN-4744.
CVE-2017-11391
Score elevated to 8.9 because EPSS predicts 62% probability of exploitation within the next 30 days (top 0.9% of all CVEs). NVD baseline CVSS 8.8 retained for reference. Confidence: see factors.
- High exploitation likelihood — EPSS 62%
- Public exploit code is available (Metasploit, epss top5pct, epss high, public exploit)
No vendor fix yet — apply a workaround or compensating control (WAF / firewall / segmentation) and watch for a patch.
