Trellix ESM Flaw Let Attackers Execute arbitrary commands

Recent reports have identified two significant vulnerabilities in Trellix SIEM, which may enable unauthorized parties to execute commands in the Trellix ESM Flaw’s Enterprise Security Manager (ESM).

This poses a considerable risk to the security of the system and should be addressed promptly to prevent any potential breaches.

Trellix has released CVEs and patches for fixing these vulnerabilities.
