CVE-2025-6770

7.2 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

CVE-2025-6770 is an OS command injection vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) that allows authenticated attackers with high privileges to execute arbitrary commands on the server. This leads to remote code execution and potential full system compromise. Organizations running EPMM versions before 12.5.0.2 are affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM)
Versions: All versions before 12.5.0.2
Operating Systems: Linux-based EPMM appliance
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Requires authenticated access with high privileges; default EPMM configurations are vulnerable.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system takeover, data exfiltration, lateral movement to other systems, and persistent backdoor installation.

🟠

Likely Case

Unauthorized access to sensitive mobile device management data, credential theft, and deployment of malicious configurations to managed devices.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact due to network segmentation, strong authentication controls, and minimal privileged accounts.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ✅ No
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: LOW

Exploitation requires authenticated high-privilege access but is straightforward once credentials are obtained.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: 12.5.0.2

Vendor Advisory: https://forums.ivanti.com/s/article/Security-Advisory-Ivanti-Endpoint-Manager-Mobile-EPMM-CVE-2025-6770-CVE-2025-6771?language=en_US

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Download EPMM version 12.5.0.2 from Ivanti support portal. 2. Backup current configuration. 3. Apply the update through EPMM admin interface. 4. Restart the EPMM service or appliance.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Restrict administrative access

all

Limit EPMM administrative access to only necessary users and implement network segmentation.

Implement strong authentication

all

Enforce multi-factor authentication for all EPMM administrative accounts.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate EPMM server from internet and restrict internal network access using firewall rules.
  • Implement strict monitoring and alerting for unusual administrative activity on EPMM systems.

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check EPMM version in admin interface under System > About; versions below 12.5.0.2 are vulnerable.

Check Version:

Not applicable - check via EPMM web interface

Verify Fix Applied:

Confirm version shows 12.5.0.2 or higher in admin interface and test administrative functions for normal operation.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual command execution patterns in EPMM logs
  • Multiple failed authentication attempts followed by successful admin login
  • Unexpected system command execution from EPMM processes

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from EPMM server
  • Suspicious administrative traffic patterns

SIEM Query:

source="epmm" AND (event_type="command_execution" OR user="admin") AND command="*;*" OR command="*|*" OR command="*`*"
