CVE-2025-11623: CWE-89 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') in Ivanti Endpoint Manager
SQL injection in Ivanti Endpoint Manager before version 2024 SU5 allows a remote authenticated attacker to read arbitrary data from the database.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-11623 is an SQL injection vulnerability identified in Ivanti Endpoint Manager prior to version 2024 SU5. The flaw stems from improper neutralization of special characters in SQL commands, allowing a remote attacker who has authenticated access to the system to craft malicious SQL queries. This enables unauthorized reading of arbitrary data from the backend database, potentially exposing sensitive information stored therein. The vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of data (no integrity or availability impact), but the confidentiality breach can be significant depending on the data stored. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and requiring privileges (authenticated user). No user interaction is needed, and the scope remains unchanged as the vulnerability affects only the Ivanti Endpoint Manager component. Currently, there are no known public exploits or active exploitation campaigns reported. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-89, which is a common and well-understood class of injection flaws. Ivanti Endpoint Manager is widely used for endpoint management in enterprise environments, making this vulnerability relevant for organizations relying on this product for device and security management. The lack of a patch link suggests the fix may be forthcoming or available in version 2024 SU5 and later. Organizations should verify their version and plan immediate upgrades or mitigations to prevent data leakage.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, the primary impact is unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data stored in the Ivanti Endpoint Manager database. This could include configuration details, user credentials, or other confidential information critical to endpoint security management. Exposure of such data can lead to further attacks, including lateral movement or privilege escalation within the network. Since the vulnerability requires authentication, the risk is higher for insiders or attackers who have compromised credentials. The medium severity indicates a moderate risk but should not be underestimated in environments with sensitive or regulated data, such as finance, healthcare, or government sectors. Data privacy regulations like GDPR impose strict requirements on protecting personal data, and a breach could result in regulatory penalties and reputational damage. The lack of impact on data integrity or availability reduces the risk of operational disruption but does not diminish the confidentiality concerns. Organizations with extensive Ivanti Endpoint Manager deployments, especially those managing critical infrastructure or large user bases, face a higher potential impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Verify the current version of Ivanti Endpoint Manager and upgrade to version 2024 SU5 or later where the vulnerability is fixed. 2. Restrict access to the Ivanti Endpoint Manager interface to trusted networks and users using network segmentation and firewall rules. 3. Enforce strong authentication mechanisms and monitor for unusual login activity to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 4. Implement database query logging and anomaly detection to identify suspicious SQL queries indicative of exploitation attempts. 5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration tests focusing on endpoint management systems. 6. Educate administrators about the risks of SQL injection and the importance of applying security patches promptly. 7. If immediate patching is not possible, consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the management interface. 8. Review and minimize privileges of accounts accessing the Endpoint Manager to limit the scope of potential exploitation.
