CVE-2025-10243 is an OS command injection vulnerability classified under CWE-78 found in the administrative panel of Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM). This vulnerability affects versions before 12.6.0.2, 12.5.0.4, and 12.4.0.4. The flaw arises from improper neutralization of special elements in OS commands, allowing a remote attacker with valid administrative credentials to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands on the underlying server hosting the EPMM admin panel. The vulnerability does not require user interaction but does require high privileges (admin access). Successful exploitation can lead to full remote code execution, compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system and potentially the broader network environment managed by EPMM. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.2, reflecting high impact with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high privileges required. No public exploits or active exploitation have been reported yet, but the presence of such a vulnerability in a critical endpoint management tool poses significant risk. Ivanti has published fixed versions to address this issue, though patch links were not provided in the source data. The vulnerability is particularly concerning because endpoint management platforms often have broad access and control over enterprise devices, making any compromise potentially devastating.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-10243 can be severe. Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile is used to manage and secure mobile endpoints, which are critical for enterprise operations, especially in sectors like finance, healthcare, government, and telecommunications. Exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the management server, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive data, disruption of endpoint management services, and lateral movement within the network. This could result in data breaches, operational downtime, and loss of trust. Given the administrative privileges required, insider threats or compromised admin credentials could be leveraged by attackers to exploit this vulnerability. The lack of user interaction needed increases the risk of automated or scripted attacks once credentials are obtained. European organizations with regulatory obligations under GDPR and other data protection laws face additional compliance risks if this vulnerability is exploited. The threat is heightened in environments where patch management is slow or where privileged access controls are weak.

European organizations should immediately verify their Ivanti EPMM version and upgrade to versions 12.6.0.2, 12.5.0.4, or 12.4.0.4 or later where the vulnerability is patched. In the absence of immediate patching, restrict access to the EPMM admin panel to trusted networks and IP addresses using network segmentation and firewall rules. Enforce strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all administrative accounts to reduce the risk of credential compromise. Conduct regular audits of admin accounts and privileges to ensure least privilege principles are applied. Monitor logs for unusual command execution patterns or access anomalies in the EPMM environment. Employ endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to detect potential lateral movement or malicious activity stemming from this vulnerability. Additionally, implement strict change management and incident response plans tailored to endpoint management infrastructure. Finally, maintain up-to-date backups of critical configurations and data to enable recovery in case of compromise.
