CVE-2025-62389: 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-2025-62389 is an SQL injection vulnerability identified in Ivanti Endpoint Manager versions prior to 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 execute crafted SQL queries. This enables the attacker to read arbitrary data from the underlying database, potentially exposing sensitive information stored within the endpoint management system. The vulnerability does not allow modification or deletion of data (no integrity or availability impact) but compromises confidentiality. The attack vector is network-based with low attack complexity, requiring valid user credentials but no user interaction. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-89, which covers improper sanitization of inputs used in SQL commands. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the presence of this vulnerability in a widely used endpoint management product poses a risk. Ivanti Endpoint Manager is commonly deployed in enterprise environments to manage and secure endpoints, making the confidentiality breach significant. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting a medium severity level due to the need for authentication and the limited scope of impact. The vulnerability was published on October 13, 2025, and Ivanti has released version 2024 SU5 to address this issue. Organizations that have not yet applied this update remain vulnerable to data disclosure attacks.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, the primary impact is unauthorized disclosure of sensitive data stored within Ivanti Endpoint Manager databases. This could include configuration details, endpoint inventory, user information, or other proprietary data critical to IT operations and security posture. Exposure of such data can facilitate further attacks, including targeted phishing, lateral movement, or compliance violations under GDPR and other data protection regulations. The vulnerability does not allow data modification or service disruption, so operational continuity is less affected. However, the breach of confidentiality can damage organizational reputation and lead to regulatory penalties. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, government, and critical infrastructure that rely heavily on endpoint management solutions are particularly at risk. The requirement for authenticated access limits the attack surface but insider threats or compromised credentials could be leveraged to exploit this vulnerability. Given the widespread use of Ivanti Endpoint Manager in Europe, the potential impact is significant if unpatched.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Immediately apply the Ivanti Endpoint Manager 2024 SU5 update or later versions that address CVE-2025-62389. 2. Restrict network access to the Ivanti Endpoint Manager interface using firewalls and network segmentation to limit exposure to trusted administrators only. 3. Enforce strong authentication mechanisms, including multi-factor authentication (MFA), to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 4. Monitor database query logs and application logs for unusual or unexpected SQL queries that could indicate exploitation attempts. 5. Conduct regular audits of user accounts and permissions to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to the management system. 6. Implement intrusion detection systems (IDS) or endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions to detect anomalous activities related to Ivanti Endpoint Manager. 7. Educate administrators about the risks of SQL injection and the importance of secure credential management. 8. Consider deploying web application firewalls (WAF) with rules tailored to detect and block SQL injection attempts targeting the management interface.
