01

What, why and how

Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) contains an absolute path traversal vulnerability that allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to leak sensitive information.

What

Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) contains an absolute path traversal vulnerability that allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to leak sensitive information.

Why

The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize absolute path sequences such as /abs/path that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation without authentication or user interaction. If successful, the issue may obtain information outside the intended access boundary.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Confirmed in the wild

CISA added this CVE to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue on 2025-03-10.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Reference recorded

A structured CVE source labels at least one public reference as exploit material. BlackTree has not independently validated that it is safe, reliable or weaponised.

Likely attack path
a network path → Absolute Path Traversal → obtain information outside the intended access boundary

Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-36 ↗

CWE-36: Absolute Path Traversal. The product uses external input to construct a pathname that should be within a restricted directory, but it does not properly neutralize absolute path sequences such as /abs/path that can resolve to a location that is outside of that directory.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.

NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2025-0017Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Ivanti Endpoint Manager

De kwetsbaarheden omvatten path traversal, SQL-injectie, deserialisatie, onjuist bestandsnaamvalidatie en onvoldoende validatie van handtekeningen. Deze kwetsbaarheden stellen zowel ongeauthenticeerde als geauthenticeerde aanvallers in staat om toegang te krijgen tot gevoelige informatie, code op afstand uit te voeren, en kunnen leiden tot een Denial-of-Service.
