Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) vulnerability

Ivanti Endpoint Manager contains an unauthenticated SQL injection vulnerability in the Core server that allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Verdict

Today item — known-exploited.

SQL injection in EPM Core server enables unauthenticated remote code execution for attackers on the same network. High EPSS score and active exploitation indicate immediate risk to endpoint management infrastructure.

Is it exploitable?

— the evidence, ranked above the score
Exploit available
Fully weaponized — public exploit code is cataloged for this vulnerability.We link the existence of the exploit; we do not host or redistribute payloads.
Reported exploitation
496 independent public reports of in-the-wild exploitation are cataloged.Distinct reporting sources (vendor, incident response, government); open them for the underlying claims.
Exploited in the wild
Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog (added 2024-10-02).
CISA KEV ↗Confirmed
Probability (EPSS)
EPSS 0.99951 — modeled likelihood of exploitation activity.EPSS is a daily-changing model output — open the source for today's value.
Severity / affected
CVSS 9.6 (CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H) · Affected: Ivanti, Endpoint Manager (EPM). Confirm exact fixed builds in the vendor advisory.CVSS — CNA-assigned (CVE.org), version 3.0, set at disclosure.
CVE.org ↗Reported
Weakness (CWE)
Mapped to CWE-89 SQL Injection — weakness family: Injection.CWE assignment from the public NVD record (may be stale); the weakness class drives how the flaw is exploited.
NVD ↗Reported
CISA SSVC (triage disposition)
Exploitation: active · Automatable: yes · Technical Impact: totalCISA's own stakeholder-specific triage inputs, published in the CVE record (CISA Coordinator role). NOTE: this is CISA's three decision points; the final Act/Attend/Track decision also requires a Mission & Well-being input not published here, so no overall decision is asserted.
CISA-ADP ↗Reported
Currency of the record
CISA added this to its KEV catalog 124 days after the CVE record was published.KEV lag = CISA-KEV dateAdded − CVE.org datePublished; a floor on how long the known-exploited flaw sat in the public record before the federal catalog listed it. Severity/weakness here is CNA- or CISA-assigned (current at disclosure), independent of NVD's analysis backlog.
Public exploit available
Public exploit tooling is catalogued for this CVE (a functional/weaponized public exploit). Catalog entries: Metasploit module, nuclei template. We link the catalog page(s) only — no payload or code is hosted or restated here.Link, never host — the catalog page is the source; basicsecurity.net does not redistribute payloads.

Who’s exploiting it?

— attribution turns risk into urgency
Attribution not established

No confirmed (advisory-backed) threat-actor attribution is established for this record. Absence of a named actor is not absence of compromise — see Coverage & confidence.

03

Why it matters

— the attack path, told twice: adversary, then board
1

Front door — unauthenticated access narrative 1

Attacker
I craft malicious SQL queries targeting the EPM Core server without authentication.
Business
Attackers gain direct code execution on critical endpoint management infrastructure.
2

Keys to the kingdom — privilege/identity takeover narrative 2

Attacker
I execute arbitrary commands through the SQL injection to compromise the Core server.
Business
Entire endpoint fleet visibility and control is compromised, enabling lateral movement.
3

Lateral reach — past segmentation narrative 3

Attacker
I establish persistence and pivot to managed endpoints across the organization.
Business
Widespread endpoint compromise threatens data confidentiality and operational continuity.

What to do

— defensible action
  • Remediate per the vendor advisory — confirm the fixed build for your version and verify exposure.1
Say it to the boardA vulnerability with this evidence profile is a defensible budget line, not a backlog ticket — fund the change against the proof above.
