Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) Authentication Bypass Vulnerability
What it is
Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) contains an authentication bypass vulnerability in the API component that allows an attacker to access protected resources without proper credentials via crafted API requests. This vulnerability results from an insecure implementation of the Spring Framework open-source library.
Who's affected
Affects anyone using Ivanti VPN (Connect Secure or Pulse) or Ivanti endpoint management. The VPN is what remote workers use to reach internal systems; the endpoint management tool typically has admin reach into every laptop — exploitation in either is high-impact.
What to do
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
CISA action deadline: June 9, 2025. Federal agencies must complete the required action by this date. For private SMBs the deadline is advisory — but treat it as a strong recommendation, especially if you handle regulated data (HIPAA, GLBA, ABA model rules).
If you don't have someone in-house to verify the patch deployed across every endpoint — or you're not sure whether you're affected — that's exactly the kind of triage we do. Book a free 20-minute triage call.
