Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM): sql injection flaw under attack

CVE-2024-29824 · Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) SQL Injection Vulnerability

Business software8.8 high

What is affected

Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) is mostly run by companies, schools and public bodies, not on home computers. You are unlikely to have it yourself, but organisations that hold your data may. Breaches that start with flaws like this one are how personal data ends up leaked.

Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) contains a SQL injection vulnerability in Core server that allows an unauthenticated attacker within the same network to execute arbitrary code.

CISA's description

What an attacker can do

This is a sql injection flaw. It lets an attacker read, change or delete records in the product's database. That often includes user accounts and stored passwords.

How it is reached
From the same local network
Access the attacker needs
No account needed
Does the victim have to do something?
No, works without the victim doing anything

What to do

  1. At home: nothing to install. Keep your own devices updated and use a different password for every service, so that a breach at one organisation does not open your other accounts.
  2. If you administer Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) at work: apply the vendor's fix or mitigation now and review logs for signs of compromise, because the flaw was being exploited before it was listed.
  3. If the product is past its support date and no fix exists, take it off the internet or retire it.

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.

Action required by CISA for US federal agencies

Vendor advisories and fixes

How urgent is it

CISA added this vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue on October 2, 2024, which means there is reliable evidence of attacks in the wild. US federal agencies must fix it by October 23, 2024, a deadline that has already passed. That deadline does not bind anyone else, but it shows how seriously the agency rates it.

The EPSS model estimates a 100% probability that this flaw will be exploited somewhere in the next 30 days. That is higher than 100.0% of all scored vulnerabilities.

Its CVSS severity score is 8.8 out of 10 (high), as recorded in the US National Vulnerability Database.

Technical description
