CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-10811 is a critical-severity Absolute Path Traversal (CWE-36) vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked in the top 11% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-10811 is an absolute path traversal vulnerability, also referenced under CWE-36 and CWE-22, that affects Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) prior to the 2024 January-2025 Security Update and the 2022 SU6 January-2025 Security Update. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 and permits remote, unauthenticated access that can result in disclosure of sensitive information.
A remote attacker with no credentials or user interaction can send crafted requests over the network to traverse absolute paths and retrieve restricted files or data from the affected EPM installation. The published description limits the direct outcome to information leakage, although the CVSS vector indicates potential high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Ivanti’s January 2025 security advisory directs customers to apply the listed EPM updates for both the 2024 and 2022 SU6 branches. The associated EPSS score rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.1564 on 2025-12-11 before receding to the current value of 0.0619, indicating that exploitation interest increased after public disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Input validation directly stops construction of absolute paths from untrusted data before they reach file operations.
Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.
Secure SDLC practices directly require input validation and path sanitization that prevent absolute path traversal.
PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.
