CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/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-2024-13169 is a high-severity Out-of-bounds Read (CWE-125) vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager. Its CVSS base score is 7.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked at the 37th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); 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 SA-8 (Security and Privacy Engineering Principles) — 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-2024-13169 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability affecting Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) versions prior to the 2024 January-2025 Security Update and 2022 SU6 January-2025 Security Update. The issue stems from CWE-125 (out-of-bounds read) and CWE-843 (type confusion), enabling improper memory access. It carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
A local authenticated attacker with low privileges can exploit this vulnerability to escalate their privileges on the affected system. The attack requires local access and low attack complexity, with no user interaction needed, allowing the attacker to gain higher-level access and potentially execute arbitrary code or manipulate system resources.
Ivanti's security advisory recommends applying the January-2025 Security Updates for EPM 2024 and EPM 2022 SU6 to mitigate the vulnerability, as detailed at https://forums.ivanti.com/s/article/Security-Advisory-EPM-January-2025-for-EPM-2024-and-EPM-2022-SU6.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation directly finds out-of-bounds read flaws through static analysis, fuzzing, and dynamic bounds checks.
Secure engineering principles require bounds checking and memory-safe constructs that stop out-of-bounds reads from being introduced.
Process isolation confines the effects of an out-of-bounds read to the compromised process.
Input validation rejects malformed indices or lengths that would otherwise cause reads outside buffer bounds.
Memory-protection controls limit the blast radius when a type-confusion access occurs but do not stop the flaw itself.

Vulnerability scanning and recording can discover instances of out-of-bounds reads after code is deployed.
Routine patching replaces vulnerable code containing out-of-bounds read flaws.
Secure-development practices such as bounds checking and memory-safe languages directly prevent out-of-bounds reads.
