CVE-2025-6770: CWE-78 Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile
OS command injection in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) before version 12.5.0.2 allows a remote authenticated attacker with high privileges to achieve remote code execution
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-6770 is a high-severity vulnerability classified as CWE-78, indicating improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command, commonly known as OS command injection. This vulnerability affects Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) versions prior to 12.5.0.2. The flaw allows a remote attacker who is authenticated and possesses high privileges within the system to execute arbitrary operating system commands remotely. The vulnerability arises because the application fails to properly sanitize or neutralize special characters or input elements before incorporating them into OS-level commands, enabling an attacker to inject malicious commands. Given the CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2, the vulnerability is exploitable over the network without user interaction, requires high privileges, and impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. Exploitation could lead to full remote code execution, allowing attackers to manipulate or control the affected system, access sensitive data, disrupt services, or pivot to other internal resources. No known public exploits have been reported yet, and no patches or updates have been explicitly linked in the provided data, though the fixed version is 12.5.0.2 or later. The vulnerability is particularly critical in environments where Ivanti EPMM is used to manage mobile endpoints, as it could undermine enterprise mobile security management and expose sensitive corporate data or infrastructure to compromise.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-6770 could be significant due to the widespread use of Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile in enterprise environments for mobile device management (MDM). Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized remote code execution, potentially allowing attackers to gain control over the management platform and, by extension, the mobile devices it manages. This could result in data breaches involving sensitive corporate and personal data, disruption of mobile device operations, and compromise of regulatory compliance obligations such as GDPR. The high privileges required for exploitation suggest that insider threats or compromised administrative accounts pose the greatest risk. Additionally, the ability to execute arbitrary commands could facilitate lateral movement within corporate networks, increasing the scope of impact. Given the critical role of mobile device management in sectors like finance, healthcare, and government, the vulnerability could disrupt essential services and damage organizational reputation. The absence of known exploits in the wild currently provides a window for mitigation, but the risk remains elevated due to the potential severity of impact.
Mitigation Recommendations
European organizations should prioritize upgrading Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile to version 12.5.0.2 or later as soon as the patch becomes available. Until then, strict access controls should be enforced to limit high-privilege accounts and reduce the attack surface. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all administrative access to the EPMM platform to mitigate risks from credential compromise. Conduct thorough audits of user privileges and revoke unnecessary high-level permissions. Network segmentation should be applied to isolate the management platform from less trusted network zones. Employ application-layer firewalls or intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to monitor and block suspicious command injection attempts. Regularly review logs for anomalous command executions or access patterns. Additionally, organizations should prepare incident response plans specific to potential EPMM compromises and conduct security awareness training focused on the risks of privileged account misuse. Finally, coordinate with Ivanti support channels to receive timely updates and advisories related to this vulnerability.
