CVE-2025-7037 is a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability (CWE-89) found in Ivanti Endpoint Manager versions prior to 2024 SU3 and 2022 SU8 Security Update 1. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker who has authenticated administrative privileges to exploit improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands. Specifically, the flaw enables the attacker to inject malicious SQL code into database queries executed by the Endpoint Manager application. Successful exploitation can lead to unauthorized reading of arbitrary data from the backend database, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information managed by the system. The vulnerability requires administrative-level authentication but does not require user interaction beyond that. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.2, reflecting high severity due to network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No known public exploits have been reported yet. The vulnerability affects critical endpoint management infrastructure, which is often used to manage and secure enterprise devices and software deployments, making it a valuable target for attackers aiming to gain insight into or manipulate organizational IT environments.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability could be significant. Ivanti Endpoint Manager is widely used in enterprise environments for endpoint security, patch management, and IT asset management. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive corporate data, including configuration details, credentials, or other confidential information stored in the database. This could facilitate further attacks such as lateral movement, privilege escalation, or data exfiltration. The integrity of endpoint management processes could be compromised, potentially disrupting patch deployment or security policy enforcement, thereby increasing the risk of additional vulnerabilities being exploited. Availability could also be affected if attackers manipulate database contents or cause service disruptions. Given the GDPR and other strict data protection regulations in Europe, data breaches resulting from this vulnerability could lead to regulatory penalties and reputational damage. Organizations relying heavily on Ivanti Endpoint Manager for centralized endpoint control should consider this a critical risk to their IT security posture.

1. Immediate application of the vendor-provided security updates: upgrade Ivanti Endpoint Manager to version 2024 SU3 or 2022 SU8 Security Update 1 or later to remediate the vulnerability. 2. Restrict administrative access to the Endpoint Manager console using network segmentation, VPNs, and strict access control lists to minimize exposure to potential attackers. 3. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all administrative accounts to reduce the risk of credential compromise. 4. Conduct regular audits of administrative account activity and database query logs to detect anomalous behavior indicative of exploitation attempts. 5. Employ Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the Endpoint Manager interface. 6. Review and harden database permissions to ensure the Endpoint Manager service account operates with the least privileges necessary. 7. Establish an incident response plan specific to Ivanti Endpoint Manager compromise scenarios, including data integrity verification and recovery procedures. 8. Educate IT staff on the risks of SQL injection and the importance of timely patching and secure configuration management.
