Ivanti EPMM Authentication Bypass

IdentifiersCVE-2023-35078CWE-288

CVE-2023-35078 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM), formerly MobileIron Core. The flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to access specific restricted EPMM API paths without proper authentication. According to the provided content, exploitation enables unauthorized access to sensitive application functionality and resources, including API endpoints used to enumerate users and administrators and retrieve data managed by the platform. Ivanti stated the issue affects supported EPMM release lines 11.10, 11.9, 11.8, and 11.4, with older releases also at risk. The vulnerability was exploited as a zero day from at least April through July 2023.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to access sensitive data and perform unauthorized actions on the EPMM server. Reported impacts include exposure of personally identifiable information such as names, phone numbers, mobile device details, and GPS data if enabled; unauthorized configuration changes on the server; and the ability to push packages or otherwise affect managed mobile endpoints. The content also indicates attackers used this flaw for initial access into victim environments, including Norwegian government organizations, and that compromise of EPMM can facilitate broader network intrusion and lateral movement due to its integration with enterprise authentication systems and device-management infrastructure.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure of the EPMM appliance from the internet and restrict access to vulnerable public-facing interfaces and API paths. The content indicates EPMM compromise should be treated as high risk; defenders should review HTTP/Apache access logs for suspicious requests to vulnerable API paths, centralize logs to preserve evidence, and assess for indicators of compromise such as unauthorized configuration changes, unexpected administrator activity, or follow-on exploitation. Given observed real-world exploitation, previously exposed systems should be treated as potentially compromised and incident response actions such as credential rotation and host rebuild/reimage from a known-good image may be necessary.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Apply Ivanti's vendor patch for CVE-2023-35078 immediately. The content states Ivanti released patches for supported EPMM versions on July 23, 2023, and provided an RPM remediation script for customers running earlier versions. Organizations running unsupported or older releases should upgrade to a supported, patched version as directed by Ivanti and apply any vendor-provided remediation script where applicable. Because the vulnerability was actively exploited as a zero day, affected organizations should also investigate for compromise after patching.

CVE-2023-35078-Exploit-POCMaturityPoCVerified exploit

This repository provides a Python proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2023-35078, a remote unauthenticated API access vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM), formerly known as MobileIron Core. The repository contains four files: a .gitignore, LICENSE, README.md, and the main exploit script 'cve_2023_35078_poc.py'. The exploit script allows an attacker to check if a target Ivanti EPMM server is running a vulnerable version by parsing the version from a CSS link in the login page HTML. If the target is vulnerable, the script sends an unauthenticated HTTP GET request to the endpoint '/mifs/aad/api/v2/authorized/users?adminDeviceSpaceId=1' to extract all user data, which is then saved locally as a JSON file. The exploit can be run against a single URL or a list of URLs. The README provides usage instructions and references to official advisories. The exploit demonstrates unauthorized access to sensitive user information via a network-based attack vector, but does not provide weaponized or post-exploitation capabilities.

CVE-2023-35078MaturityPoCVerified exploit

This repository provides a Python-based proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2023-35078, a critical unauthenticated API access vulnerability in Ivanti MobileIron Core (versions 11.2, 11.3, and 11.4 prior to their respective patch levels). The main script, cve_2023_35078.py, allows an attacker to remotely query the vulnerable endpoint (/mifs/aad/api/v2/authorized/users) without authentication and extract sensitive user and device information. The exploit supports both single-target and batch scanning, outputs results in JSON format, and includes features such as verbose logging, custom output directories, and timeout configuration. The repository also includes a requirements.txt for dependencies and a detailed README.md with usage instructions, technical background, and remediation guidance. The exploit is a functional PoC and does not weaponize the vulnerability beyond data extraction. No hardcoded payloads or post-exploitation actions are present. The attack vector is network-based, and the exploit is suitable for authorized security testing of exposed Ivanti MobileIron Core instances.

CVE-2023-35078MaturityPoCVerified exploit

This repository contains a Go-based proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2023-35078, a remote unauthenticated API access vulnerability in Ivanti MobileIron Core (versions <= 11.4). The repository consists of a README.md with usage instructions and a single Go source file (cve-2023-35078.go) implementing the exploit logic. The exploit first checks if the target is running a vulnerable version by parsing the version from a CSS file reference in the login page. If the target is vulnerable, it sends an unauthenticated HTTP GET request to the /mifs/aad/api/v2/authorized/users?adminDeviceSpaceId=1 endpoint to extract sensitive user data, which is then saved to a local JSON file. The tool supports both single-target and batch modes (via a file of URLs). The exploit demonstrates the vulnerability but does not provide weaponized or post-exploitation capabilities.

nmap-CVE-2023-35078-ExploitMaturityPoCVerified exploit

This repository contains an Nmap NSE script (CVE-2023-35078.nse) designed to exploit CVE-2023-35078, a vulnerability in MobileIron Core. The script performs an unauthenticated HTTP GET request to the endpoint '/mifs/aad/api/v2/authorized/users?adminDeviceSpaceId=1' on the target server, attempting to retrieve and dump admin user information. The response is saved to a user-specified output file (defaulting to './output.txt'). The script requires Nmap and LuaSocket, and is executed via Nmap's scripting engine with appropriate arguments. The repository also includes a README.md with usage instructions and a reference to the CVE. The exploit is a proof-of-concept and does not include weaponized or customizable payloads.
