01

What, why and how

Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) contains an improper input validation vulnerability that allows a remotely authenticated user with administrative access to achieve remote code execution.

What

Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) contains an improper input validation vulnerability that allows a remotely authenticated user with administrative access to achieve remote code execution.

Why

The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with elevated privileges. If successful, the issue may execute code or commands in the affected security context.

The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with elevated privileges. If successful, the issue may execute code or commands in the affected security context.

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 2026-05-07.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
a network path → Improper Input Validation → execute code or commands in the affected security context

Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
Security boundary
Unchanged: impact remains within the vulnerable component's security authority
Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-20 ↗

CWE-20: Improper Input Validation. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

AVNetworkAttack vector: The vulnerable component can be reached over a network.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRHighPrivileges required: The attacker needs elevated or administrative privileges.UINoneUser interaction: No action by another user is required.SUnchangedScope: The security impact remains within the vulnerable component's authority.CHighConfidentiality impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.IHighIntegrity impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.AHighAvailability impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.
Post-exploitation / living off the land
After compromise, an attacker may use built-in shells, scripting engines, scheduled tasks and native network utilities for discovery, persistence or movement. This is a plausible LoTL path, not evidence that it has occurred for every attack.

CERT-FR · French · CERTFR-2026-AVI-0724Multiples vulnérabilités dans les produits Ivanti

De multiples vulnérabilités ont été découvertes dans les produits Ivanti. Elles permettent à un attaquant de provoquer une exécution de code arbitraire à distance et un contournement de la politique de sécurité.

Official advisory
CERT-FR · French · CERTFR-2026-AVI-0552Multiples vulnérabilités dans Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile

De multiples vulnérabilités ont été découvertes dans Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM). Certaines d'entre elles permettent à un attaquant de provoquer une exécution de code arbitraire à distance, une élévation de privilèges et une atteinte à la confidentialité des données. L'éditeur indique que la vulnérabilité CVE-2026-6973 est activement exploitée dans le cadre d'attaques ciblées. Celle-ci permet à un attaquant authentifié, avec les droits administrateur, de provoquer une exécution de code arbitraire à distance. L'une des recommandations concernant les vulnérabilités critiques CVE-2026-1281 et CVE-2026-1340, mentionnées dans l'alerte CERTFR-2026-ALE-001 (cf. section Documentation), était de réinitialiser tous les mots de passe des comptes EPMM locaux. Si cette recommandation n'a pas été suivie, des attaquant peuvent réutiliser des mots de passe de comptes administrateurs découverts à cette occasion pour exploiter la vulnérabilité CVE-2026-6973.

NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2026-0135Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile

De kwetsbaarheid met het kenmerk CVE-2026-6973 stelt een geauthenticeerde kwaadwillende met administratieve toegang in staat om op afstand willekeurige code uit te voeren met beheerdersrechten. Van de kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2026-6973 meldt Ivanti dat deze actief is misbruikt bij een zeer beperkt aantal klanten. Om succesvol misbruik te bewerkstelligen moet de kwaadwillende beschikken over valide inloggegevens van een account met adminrechten. Ivanti geeft aan dat klanten die het advies in januari hebben opgevolgd om hun inloggegevens te vernieuwen, aanzienlijk minder risico lopen. De kwetsbaarheid met CVE-2026-5786 stelt een geauthenticeerde kwaadwillende op afstand in staat om beheertoegang te verkrijgen. De kwetsbaarheid met CVE-2026-5787 stelt een niet-geauthenticeerde kwaadwillende in staat om zich voor te doen als een geregistreerd Sentry systeem, om zodoende door een Certificate Authority (CA) ondertekende client certificaten te verkrijgen. De kwetsbaarheid CVE-2026-5788 stelt een niet-geauthenticeerde kwaadwillende op afstand in staat om willekeurige code uit te voeren. De kwetsbaarheid CVE-2026-7821 stelt een niet-geauthenticeerde kwaadwillende in staat om een apparaat te registreren aan een set van niet-geregistreerde apparaten en toegang te verkrijgen tot (gevoelige) gegevens. Het NCSC verwacht dat op korte termijn Proof-of-Concept code publiek beschikbaar komt. Dit vergroot de kans grootschalig misbruik aanzienlijk.
