Trend Micros web gateway InterScan Web Security Virtual Appliance (IWSVA) is intended to stop threats from the Internet at the source in company networks before they reach employees’ computers. However, due to seven security gaps, attackers could nestle on PCs.

According to a security warning, five of the vulnerabilities are classified as ” high “. This only affects IWSVA version 6.5 SP2. If attacks are successful, attackers could access the admin panel or even execute malicious code with root rights.

To secure systems, admins should use the repaired Version 6.5 SP2 CP b 1919 to install. In addition, Trend Micro advises that the IWSVA management console should be secured with access controls so that access is only possible for authorized users.
