Overview

An unspecified SQL Injection vulnerability (CVE-2023-39336) was discovered in Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) affecting versions 2021 and 2022 prior to SU5. The vulnerability was disclosed on January 4, 2024, and received a critical CVSS score of 9.6. This vulnerability allows an attacker with access to the internal network to execute arbitrary SQL queries without requiring authentication (Arctic Wolf, Hacker News).

Technical details
