The assessment report provides details about endpoints and server applications that may be affected by the vulnerability. You will also receive information about actions that you can take to mitigate risk and expand your view of the attack surface.

  1. In the Identify servers affected by the Samba Vulnerability (CVE-2021-44142) area, click Start Assessment or choose Log4Shell vulnerability from Scan for More Attack Campaigns.
  2. Click Download Assessment Tool. Follow the on-screen instructions to download the installation package.
  3. Extract the installation package by executing the following command:

    tar zxf tmxbc_linux64.tgz

  4. Install the Endpoint Basecamp program.
    • To install the Endpoint Basecamp program without a proxy, execute the following command:

      $ ./tmxbc install

    • To install the Endpoint Basecamp program with a proxy, execute the following command:

      $ ./tmxbc install --proxyURL <IPv4 or IPv6 address of proxy server>

      For example:

      $ ./tmxbc install --proxyURL http://10.1.1.1:80

      Important:

      Endpoint Basecamp only supports HTTP proxies and does not support the use of proxy credentials.

    The tool starts running in the background and automatically uploads data to Trend Vision One.

Note:

You can uninstall the assessment tool after completing the Log4Shell (CVE-2021-44228) Vulnerability Assessment or Samba Vulnerability Assessment. If you enabled Endpoint Sensor during this assessment, disable the sensor in the Endpoint Inventory app before uninstalling the assessment tool. To uninstall the assessment tool,execute the following command:

# /opt/TrendMicro/EndpointBasecamp/bin/tmxbc uninstall
