Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 1.8% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified are NIST 800-53 RA-5 (Vulnerability Monitoring and Scanning) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation).
Deeper analysis
CVE-2024-13162 is a SQL injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-89, that affects Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) prior to the 2024 January-2025 Security Update and the 2022 SU6 January-2025 Security Update. The flaw stems from incomplete remediation of the earlier CVE-2024-32848 and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2.
A remote attacker who already possesses administrative credentials can supply crafted input that triggers the injection, resulting in arbitrary code execution on the server. The attack requires no user interaction and can be performed over the network.
The official Ivanti advisory directs administrators to apply the January-2025 security updates for both the 2024 and 2022 SU6 release trains. The associated EPSS score currently stands at 0.5796 with an identical recorded peak, indicating sustained exploitation interest following disclosure.
