EPMM: Improper Authentication
CVE-2024-36130 is a critical-severity improper authentication vulnerability in EPMM from Ivanti, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 12.1.0.1 as the first without the flaw, so updating EPMM to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 2.25% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 83% of scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update EPMM to 12.1.0.1 or a later version.
- Update endpoint_manager_mobile to 12.1.0.1 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on forums.ivanti.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
