CVE-2025-62388: 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-2025-62388 is an SQL injection vulnerability identified in Ivanti Endpoint Manager versions before 2024 SU5. The flaw arises from improper neutralization of special elements within SQL commands, classified under CWE-89. An authenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious SQL code into input fields or API endpoints that interact with the backend database. This injection allows the attacker to read arbitrary data from the database, potentially exposing sensitive information such as user credentials, configuration details, or other confidential data stored within the system. The vulnerability requires authentication but no user interaction, and can be exploited remotely over the network. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting a medium severity with a high impact on confidentiality, no impact on integrity or availability, and low attack complexity. No public exploits or active exploitation have been reported to date, but the vulnerability's presence in a widely used endpoint management product makes it a notable risk. The lack of a patch link suggests that a fix may be forthcoming or pending deployment, emphasizing the need for vigilance and interim protective measures.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-62388 can be significant, especially for those relying on Ivanti Endpoint Manager for managing endpoints and IT assets. The ability of an attacker to read arbitrary database data compromises confidentiality, potentially exposing sensitive corporate data, user information, and security configurations. This exposure could lead to further attacks such as privilege escalation, lateral movement, or targeted data theft. Although the vulnerability does not affect integrity or availability directly, the loss of confidentiality alone can result in regulatory non-compliance, reputational damage, and financial loss. Organizations in sectors with strict data protection requirements, such as finance, healthcare, and government, are particularly vulnerable. The requirement for authentication limits exploitation to insiders or attackers who have obtained valid credentials, but this does not eliminate risk given common credential theft techniques. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently reduces immediate threat but does not preclude future exploitation once details become public or patches are delayed.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Apply the official Ivanti Endpoint Manager patch for version 2024 SU5 or later as soon as it becomes available to remediate the vulnerability. 2. Until patching is possible, restrict network access to the Endpoint Manager interface using firewalls, VPNs, or network segmentation to limit exposure to trusted users only. 3. Enforce strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 4. Conduct regular audits of user accounts and permissions to ensure only authorized personnel have access to the management system. 5. Monitor database query logs and application logs for unusual or suspicious SQL queries indicative of injection attempts. 6. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules tailored to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting Ivanti Endpoint Manager. 7. Educate administrators and users about phishing and credential theft risks to prevent unauthorized access. 8. Maintain up-to-date backups of critical data to mitigate potential data loss from future attacks.
