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 OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) found in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) versions prior to 12.5.0.2. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker who has already authenticated with high privileges to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the affected system. The flaw arises from improper neutralization of special elements in OS commands, enabling injection of malicious commands. Exploitation does not require user interaction but does require the attacker to have elevated privileges within the EPMM environment. Successful exploitation could lead to full remote code execution, compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.2, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patch links are provided yet, indicating that remediation may still be pending or in progress. Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile is a widely used enterprise mobility management (EMM) solution, managing mobile devices and endpoints across organizations, making this vulnerability critical in environments relying on this product for device security and management.
Potential Impact
For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk, especially for enterprises and public sector entities that use Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile to manage mobile devices and enforce security policies. Exploitation could allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands remotely, potentially leading to data breaches, unauthorized access to sensitive information, disruption of mobile device management services, and lateral movement within corporate networks. The high privileges required limit exploitation to insiders or attackers who have already compromised credentials, but the impact remains severe due to the potential for full system compromise. Given the reliance on mobile device management in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and government across Europe, this vulnerability could disrupt critical operations and expose sensitive personal and corporate data. Additionally, the lack of a publicly available patch increases the window of exposure, emphasizing the need for immediate risk mitigation.
Mitigation Recommendations
European organizations should take the following specific steps beyond generic advice: 1) Immediately audit and restrict high-privilege access to Ivanti EPMM, ensuring that only trusted administrators have such rights. 2) Implement strict network segmentation and firewall rules to limit access to the EPMM management interface to trusted IP addresses and VPNs. 3) Monitor logs and alerts for unusual command execution patterns or administrative activities within EPMM. 4) Apply principle of least privilege to all accounts interacting with EPMM to reduce risk of credential misuse. 5) Engage with Ivanti support to obtain any available patches, hotfixes, or workarounds, and plan for rapid deployment once available. 6) Consider temporary compensating controls such as disabling remote management features if feasible until a patch is applied. 7) Conduct security awareness training for administrators on the risks of privilege misuse and credential compromise. 8) Regularly back up EPMM configurations and data to enable recovery in case of compromise. These targeted actions will help reduce the attack surface and limit potential damage from exploitation.
