CVE-2025-10242
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability allows authenticated administrators in Ivanti EPMM to execute arbitrary operating system commands through the admin panel, leading to remote code execution. It affects organizations running vulnerable versions of Ivanti EPMM with admin users who could be compromised or malicious.
💻 Affected Systems
- Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM)
📦 What is this software?
⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Full compromise of the EPMM server, allowing attacker to pivot to connected mobile devices, steal sensitive data, deploy malware, or disrupt mobile management services.
Likely Case
Attacker gains persistent access to the EPMM server, potentially compromising managed mobile devices and corporate data.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if proper network segmentation, admin account controls, and monitoring are in place to detect and block exploitation attempts.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires admin credentials but command injection vulnerabilities are typically easy to weaponize once discovered.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Restrict Admin Access
allLimit admin panel access to specific IP addresses and require multi-factor authentication for admin accounts.
Network Segmentation
allIsolate EPMM server from critical networks and implement strict firewall rules.
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Implement strict network access controls to limit EPMM admin panel access to trusted IP addresses only.
- Enable detailed logging and monitoring for admin panel activities and command execution attempts.
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check EPMM version in admin panel under System > About. If version is below 12.6.0.2, 12.5.0.4, or 12.4.0.4, you are vulnerable.Check Version:
Check via EPMM web interface: System > About, or via CLI if available in your deployment.Verify Fix Applied:
After patching, verify version shows 12.6.0.2, 12.5.0.4, or 12.4.0.4 in System > About.📡 Detection & Monitoring
