SQL Injection in Ivanti Endpoint Manager

IdentifiersCVE-2026-1602CWE-89· Improper Neutralization of Special…

CVE-2026-1602 is an SQL injection vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) affecting versions before 2024 SU5, including EPM 2024 SU4 SR1 and earlier. The flaw is described as existing within the ROI class and is caused by improper validation of a user-supplied string before it is incorporated into SQL queries. Publicly available source material is somewhat inconsistent on ultimate impact: vendor/advisory-style content states the issue allows a remote authenticated attacker to read arbitrary data from the database, while ZDI-derived summary material states the SQL injection can be leveraged further to achieve remote code execution in the context of the EPM service account. At minimum, the vulnerability enables arbitrary database read access through crafted authenticated requests to the vulnerable application logic.

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.

Confirmed impact is unauthorized disclosure of arbitrary data from the Ivanti Endpoint Manager database by a remote authenticated attacker, resulting in a confidentiality breach. Depending on deployment and based on the ZDI-derived summary, the SQL injection may also be exploitable for arbitrary code execution in the context of the EPM service account, which would materially expand impact to integrity and availability and could enable follow-on compromise of the EPM server and managed environment. The provided content is not fully consistent on this point, so database data exposure is the minimum verified impact.

Mitigation

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

If immediate patching is not possible, restrict access to the EPM application to trusted administrative users and networks only, minimize the number of accounts that can authenticate to the vulnerable interface, enforce least privilege for the application and backing database/service accounts, and increase monitoring for suspicious activity against EPM, including anomalous query behavior and signs of attempted SQL injection. Because mitigation does not remove the underlying flaw, patching to 2024 SU5 remains the required corrective action. Also review systems for signs of prior unauthorized access, since upgrading prevents future exploitation but does not remediate any earlier compromise.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Ivanti Endpoint Manager to version 2024 SU5 or later. The content states that EPM 2024 SU4 SR1 and earlier are affected and that Ivanti issued fixes in EPM 2024 SU5, available through the Ivanti License System. Apply the vendor security update promptly across all affected EPM deployments.
