Ivanti Endpoint Manager SQL flaw puts Core at code-execution risk

NCSC-NL’s November 12 advisory identifies two flaws in Ivanti Endpoint Manager, narrowing the earlier 13-vulnerability Ivanti roundup to this product. One is an unauthenticated SQL injection in the Core component that can lead to remote code execution. Both flaws affect versions before 2024 SU8; Ivanti has released fixes.

In Core, an external attacker can send malicious Structured Query Language (SQL) commands without logging in, potentially making it run code. Separately, the Agent sends sensitive information in unencrypted HTTP traffic; an attacker positioned between it and its peer can read or alter that traffic, undermining confidentiality and integrity.

For organizations running affected versions, Core’s reachability—not a stolen account—is the key boundary: if an attacker can reach it, the potential impact extends to code execution on Endpoint Manager itself. The advisory does not establish whether that could expose systems managed through it.
