CVE-2025-13659 is a high-severity improper control of dynamically-managed code resources vulnerability in Endpoint Manager from Ivanti, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.8 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 2.1% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 82% of scored CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Check which version of Endpoint Manager you run against the affected versions below, and install the vendor's latest release.
- 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.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.

The underlying weakness: Improper Control of Dynamically-Managed Code Resources
The product does not properly restrict reading from or writing to dynamically-managed code resources such as variables, objects, classes, attributes, functions, or executable instructions or statements.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- For any externally-influenced input, check the input against an allowlist of acceptable values.
- Refactor the code so that it does not need to be dynamically managed.
