CISA KEV Advisory
Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) Absolute Path Traversal Vulnerability
Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) contains an absolute path traversal vulnerability that allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to leak sensitive information.
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
Risk Analysis
Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) is affected by an absolute path traversal vulnerability, which allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to leak sensitive information. The high EPSS score of 0.92995 indicates a very high probability of exploitation, making this a critical vulnerability for EPM users.
This vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild and is part of CISA's KEV catalog, confirming its active use by threat actors. The remote and unauthenticated nature of the attack vector makes it particularly dangerous.
Ivanti EPM users should apply the latest patches or updates provided by Ivanti to address this path traversal vulnerability. Restricting network access to the EPM server can also help limit exposure.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2024-13160 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
CISA has added CVE-2024-13160 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
