CVE-2025-10243 is an OS command injection vulnerability classified under CWE-78, found in the admin panel of Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM). This vulnerability exists in versions before 12.6.0.2, 12.5.0.4, and 12.4.0.4. The flaw arises due to improper neutralization of special characters in OS commands, allowing an attacker with authenticated admin privileges to inject arbitrary commands into the underlying operating system. Exploitation leads to remote code execution (RCE), enabling full system compromise including data theft, service disruption, or pivoting within the network. The vulnerability does not require user interaction but does require the attacker to have administrative access, which implies prior credential compromise or insider threat. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.2, indicating high severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No public exploits or active exploitation have been reported yet, but the potential impact is significant given the privileged access required and the critical role of EPMM in managing mobile endpoints. The vulnerability affects the administrative interface, which is typically exposed only to trusted personnel, but if compromised, could lead to widespread organizational impact. Ivanti has published fixed versions addressing this issue, though no direct patch links are provided in the data. Organizations should verify their EPMM version and apply updates promptly.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a substantial risk due to the critical role Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile plays in managing and securing mobile devices. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized remote code execution on management servers, resulting in data breaches, disruption of mobile device management services, and potential lateral movement within enterprise networks. Confidentiality of sensitive corporate and personal data could be compromised, integrity of managed devices and configurations altered, and availability of endpoint management services disrupted, impacting business continuity. Sectors such as finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure, which rely heavily on mobile device management for security compliance and operational efficiency, are particularly vulnerable. The requirement for admin privileges means that insider threats or credential theft scenarios are the most likely exploitation vectors. Given the interconnected nature of European enterprises and regulatory requirements like GDPR, the impact could extend to significant legal and financial consequences. The absence of known exploits in the wild provides a window for proactive mitigation, but the high severity score underscores the urgency.

1. Immediately verify the version of Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile in use and upgrade to versions 12.6.0.2, 12.5.0.4, or 12.4.0.4 or later where the vulnerability is patched. 2. Restrict administrative access to the EPMM admin panel using network segmentation, VPNs, or zero-trust access controls to limit exposure. 3. Implement strong multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all admin accounts to reduce risk of credential compromise. 4. Conduct regular audits of admin account activity and review logs for suspicious behavior indicative of attempted exploitation. 5. Employ application-layer firewalls or web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block injection attempts targeting the admin interface. 6. Educate administrators on phishing and credential security to prevent initial compromise. 7. Monitor threat intelligence feeds for any emerging exploits targeting this CVE and be prepared to apply emergency mitigations if needed. 8. Consider isolating the management server from direct internet exposure and restrict access to trusted IP addresses only. 9. Regularly backup configuration and system state to enable rapid recovery in case of compromise. 10. Coordinate with Ivanti support for any additional recommended security measures or patches.
