Technical description

The web management console in Trend Micro OfficeScan 7.0 through 8.0, Worry-Free Business Security 5.0, and Client/Server/Messaging Suite 3.5 and 3.6 creates a random session token based only on the login time, which makes it easier for remote attackers to hijack sessions via brute-force attacks. NOTE: this can be leveraged for code execution through an unspecified "manipulation of the configuration."

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories and patches from trendmicro. Update client_server_messaging_suite to the latest patched version. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
