Summary

CVE-2024-13162 is a high-severity SQL Injection (CWE-89) vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager. Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Protocol or Service Impersonation (T1001.003); ranked in the top 0.8% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

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.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover SQLi flaws before deployment but does not stop their introduction.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from reaching SQL query construction without neutralization.

Secure engineering principles require parameterized queries and input sanitization that structurally eliminate SQLi.

System monitoring can identify attempted SQLi exploitation via anomalous queries after the weakness exists.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
blocks

Secure SDLC practices directly target injection flaws during coding and review so largely prevent CWE-89 introduction, yet the single broad outcome leaves residual risk from incomplete neutralization techniques or missed edge cases.

PR.AT-02 partial match
blocks

Training raises developer awareness of SQLi risks and can reduce introduction likelihood (partial) but removes none of the actual coding flaw's risk by itself since technical neutralization is still required.
