CVE-2025-62385 is a SQL injection vulnerability identified in Ivanti Endpoint Manager versions before 2024 SU5. The root cause is improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands (CWE-89), which allows a remote attacker with valid authentication to inject malicious SQL queries. This flaw enables the attacker to read arbitrary data from the backend database, potentially exposing sensitive information stored within the system. The vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of data (no integrity impact) nor does it affect system availability. Exploitation requires the attacker to have valid credentials (low privilege requirement) and network access to the Ivanti Endpoint Manager interface, but no user interaction is necessary. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting a medium severity level with high confidentiality impact but limited scope and no impact on integrity or availability. No public exploits or active exploitation campaigns have been reported as of the publication date. Ivanti Endpoint Manager is widely used for endpoint management and patching in enterprise environments, making this vulnerability a concern for organizations relying on it for IT operations and security management. The vulnerability highlights the importance of input validation and secure coding practices in preventing injection attacks. The vendor has released version 2024 SU5 to address this issue, although patch links were not provided in the source data.

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-62385 could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data stored within Ivanti Endpoint Manager databases, including potentially user credentials, configuration details, or endpoint inventory information. This could facilitate further attacks such as lateral movement, privilege escalation, or targeted espionage. The requirement for authenticated access limits the attack surface to insiders or compromised accounts, but given the critical role of Endpoint Manager in IT infrastructure, the impact on confidentiality is significant. Data leakage could affect compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations, leading to legal and reputational consequences. Operational disruption is unlikely since availability and integrity are not impacted. However, organizations in sectors with high regulatory scrutiny or handling sensitive data (e.g., finance, healthcare, government) are at elevated risk. The vulnerability could also be leveraged in targeted attacks against European critical infrastructure entities that use Ivanti Endpoint Manager for endpoint security and patch management.

European organizations should prioritize upgrading Ivanti Endpoint Manager to version 2024 SU5 or later as soon as the patch becomes available. Until patched, organizations should enforce strict access controls and monitor for unusual database query patterns indicative of SQL injection attempts. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the risk of credential compromise. Conduct regular audits of user privileges to minimize the number of accounts with access to the Endpoint Manager interface. Employ network segmentation to restrict access to the management interface to trusted hosts only. Enable detailed logging and alerting on database access and application errors to detect potential exploitation attempts early. Additionally, review and harden database permissions to ensure the Endpoint Manager service account has the least privileges necessary. Consider deploying Web Application Firewalls (WAF) with SQL injection detection capabilities as an additional layer of defense. Finally, educate administrators about the risks of SQL injection and the importance of timely patching.
