Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Ivanti EPM Core server has a critical SQL injection flaw. An unauthenticated attacker on the same network can potentially run arbitrary code. Because CISA lists this CVE in KEV, treat it as actively exploited and time-sensitive for any affected Ivanti EPM deployment.
Executive priority
Treat this as an urgent remediation item where Ivanti EPM is deployed. Active exploitation, unauthenticated access, and potential code execution create material risk to endpoint management infrastructure and downstream managed systems.
Technical view
CVE-2024-29824 is a CWE-89 SQL injection in Ivanti EPM 2022 SU5 and prior Core server. The CVSS 9.6 vector indicates adjacent-network access, low complexity, no privileges, no user interaction, scope change, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely in organizations running Ivanti EPM 2022 SU5 or earlier where the Core server is reachable from internal, adjacent, or management networks. The provided sources do not identify cloud-hosted exposure or other Ivanti products.
Exploitation context
CISA KEV inclusion supports active exploitation. The CVE description says exploitation requires the attacker to be within the same network, not necessarily internet-facing. Public source details provided here do not include exploit mechanics or indicators of compromise.
Researcher notes
The public bundle describes the SQL injection as unspecified, so validation should focus on version, network reachability, vendor advisory status, and telemetry review. Do not assume affected components, fixed versions, or exploit paths beyond the cited CVE and KEV facts.
Mitigation direction
- Review Ivanti’s May 2024 advisory for vendor-specified remediation.
- Prioritize affected Ivanti EPM 2022 SU5 and prior Core servers.
- Restrict Core server access to required trusted management networks.
- Monitor EPM Core servers for unexpected changes or suspicious activity.
- Use vendor guidance for patch, upgrade, or compensating controls.
Validation and detection
- Inventory all Ivanti EPM Core server versions.
- Confirm whether any deployment is 2022 SU5 or prior.
- Check whether the Core server is reachable from broad internal networks.
- Verify remediation status against Ivanti’s May 2024 advisory.
- Review CISA KEV tracking for required remediation deadlines.

Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection')
Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an SQL Command ('SQL Injection') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
