CVE-2025-62387: 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-2025-62387 is an SQL injection vulnerability identified in Ivanti Endpoint Manager, a widely used endpoint management solution. The flaw exists in versions before 2024 SU5 and is caused by improper neutralization of special characters in SQL commands, allowing maliciously crafted input to alter the intended SQL query logic. This vulnerability requires the attacker to be authenticated, meaning they must have valid credentials to access the system. Once exploited, the attacker can read arbitrary data from the backend database, potentially exposing sensitive organizational information such as user credentials, configuration data, or other confidential records. The vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of data (no integrity or availability impact) and does not require user interaction beyond authentication. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting a medium severity due to the combination of network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high confidentiality impact. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the presence of this vulnerability in a critical management tool poses a significant risk if left unpatched. The lack of available patches at the time of disclosure necessitates immediate attention to mitigate risk through compensating controls.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, the primary impact is the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data stored within the Ivanti Endpoint Manager database. This can lead to exposure of personally identifiable information (PII), internal credentials, or configuration details that could facilitate further attacks. Given Ivanti Endpoint Manager's role in managing endpoints across enterprise environments, attackers gaining database read access could leverage this information for lateral movement or targeted attacks. The vulnerability does not directly affect system availability or data integrity, but the confidentiality breach could result in regulatory non-compliance under GDPR, leading to legal and financial penalties. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure are particularly vulnerable due to the sensitivity of their managed data and the potential cascading effects of a breach. The requirement for authentication reduces the attack surface but does not eliminate risk, especially if credential compromise or insider threats exist.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Apply the official Ivanti Endpoint Manager patch as soon as it becomes available to remediate the SQL injection vulnerability. 2. Until patching is possible, restrict access to the Endpoint Manager interface to trusted administrators only and enforce strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication (MFA). 3. Review and minimize user privileges to ensure that only necessary personnel have authenticated access, reducing the risk of exploitation. 4. Implement database activity monitoring and audit logs to detect unusual query patterns or unauthorized data access attempts. 5. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focusing on input validation and access controls within the Endpoint Manager environment. 6. Educate administrators about the risks of SQL injection and the importance of credential security to prevent misuse. 7. Network segmentation can limit exposure by isolating the Endpoint Manager from less trusted network zones. 8. Monitor threat intelligence sources for any emerging exploit code or attack campaigns targeting this vulnerability.
