Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) zero-day authentication bypass and RCE flaws (multiple vulnerabilities)
Vulnerability
Summary
Hide ▲
Show ▼
CVE-2025-4427 and CVE-2025-4428 in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) were chained as zero-days, combining authentication bypass and code injection to enable arbitrary code execution on affected systems. Ivanti patched the flaws on May 13, 2025, but attacks had already targeted a very limited number of customers and later activity was observed around May 15. CISA subsequently published a technical analysis of the malware used in these attacks, including loaders and listeners delivered to the /mifs/rs/api/v2/ endpoint via HTTP GET requests and Base64-encoded chunks. The activity enabled reconnaissance, LDAP credential theft, persistence, and follow-on code execution on vulnerable EPMM servers.
