CVE-2025-11623 identifies a SQL injection vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager, specifically affecting versions 2024 SU3 SR1 and 2022 SU8 SR2. The flaw is due to improper neutralization of special characters in SQL commands (CWE-89), enabling a remote attacker who has authenticated access to the system to execute crafted SQL queries. This allows unauthorized reading of arbitrary data from the backend database, potentially exposing sensitive information stored within the endpoint management platform. The vulnerability requires the attacker to have valid credentials, but no user interaction beyond authentication is necessary. The CVSS v3.1 score is 6.5 (medium), reflecting the network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high confidentiality impact, with no impact on integrity or availability. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the vulnerability’s presence in widely used enterprise endpoint management software makes it a significant concern. The lack of patches at the time of disclosure necessitates immediate risk mitigation through access control and monitoring. Ivanti Endpoint Manager is commonly used for managing and securing endpoints across enterprise environments, making the confidentiality breach potentially impactful for organizations relying on this software for operational security.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a risk of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive endpoint management data, which may include configuration details, user information, and security policies. Such data exposure can facilitate further attacks, including lateral movement or targeted exploitation of other systems. The impact is particularly critical for sectors with stringent data protection requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and government agencies. Compromise of endpoint management data could undermine organizational security postures and violate GDPR mandates concerning data confidentiality. Although the vulnerability does not allow data modification or service disruption, the confidentiality breach alone can lead to reputational damage, regulatory penalties, and loss of trust. Organizations with large deployments of Ivanti Endpoint Manager or those integrating it with other critical infrastructure components face elevated risks. The requirement for authenticated access limits exposure but does not eliminate the threat, especially if credential theft or insider threats are present.

1. Immediately review and restrict user privileges within Ivanti Endpoint Manager to the minimum necessary, ensuring that only trusted personnel have authenticated access. 2. Monitor and audit database access logs and application logs for unusual query patterns or unauthorized data access attempts. 3. Implement network segmentation to limit access to the Ivanti Endpoint Manager interface to trusted administrative networks. 4. Apply any vendor-released patches or updates as soon as they become available to remediate the vulnerability. 5. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the management interface. 6. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration tests focusing on the endpoint management infrastructure. 7. Educate administrators on secure credential management to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 8. Consider deploying multi-factor authentication (MFA) to strengthen authentication mechanisms, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. 9. If patching is delayed, consider temporary compensating controls such as disabling non-essential features or interfaces that expose the vulnerable components.
