Analysis Summary

Ivanti has released patches addressing multiple critical and high-severity vulnerabilities in its products, including Endpoint Manager (EPM), Avalanche, and Application Control Engine. The most critical issues, tracked as CVE-2024-10811, CVE-2024-13161, CVE-2024-13160, and CVE-2024-13159, involve absolute path traversal vulnerabilities in Ivanti EPM. These flaws, with a CVSS score of 9.8, allow remote, unauthenticated attackers to leak sensitive information. They affect EPM versions 2024 and 2022 SU6 with the November 2024 security update installed.

In addition, Ivanti's January 2025 security updates resolve 12 high-severity flaws in EPM. These include remote code execution (RCE), denial-of-service (DoS), and privilege escalation vulnerabilities, with some exploitable remotely and without authentication.

Avalanche version 6.4.7 addresses three high-severity path traversal flaws—CVE-2024-13181, CVE-2024-13180, and CVE-2024-13179—that enable unauthenticated attackers to bypass authentication and leak sensitive information. Two of these vulnerabilities also fix incomplete patches for CVE-2024-47010 and CVE-2024-47011 released in October 2024.

Ivanti also patched a high-severity race condition in Application Control Engine that could allow attackers to bypass application blocking. Exploitation of this flaw requires authentication. Updates are available for Application Control versions 2024.3 HF1, 2024.1 HF4, and 2023.3 HF3. However, the Application Control Module for Security Controls will no longer receive updates, and Ivanti recommends migrating to Application Control or Neurons for App Control.

Ivanti emphasizes there is no evidence of these vulnerabilities being exploited in the wild and confirms that other Ivanti products are not impacted.

Organizations are strongly advised to apply these patches promptly to secure their systems, as threat actors have a history of targeting Ivanti vulnerabilities.
