Summary

CVE-2024-32845 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 Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 2% 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-2024-32845 is an unspecified SQL injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-89, that affects Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) prior to the 2022 SU6 release or the September 2024 update. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 with a network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability when successfully exploited.

A remote attacker who already possesses administrative credentials can leverage the injection to execute arbitrary code on the affected EPM server. Because the attack requires authenticated admin access and does not rely on user interaction, it is primarily a post-compromise or insider-threat vector that can lead to full system takeover.

The official Ivanti security advisory published at https://forums.ivanti.com/s/article/Security-Advisory-EPM-September-2024-for-EPM-2024-and-EPM-2022 instructs administrators to apply the September 2024 update for EPM 2024 or the corresponding 2022 SU6 patch to remediate the issue.

The EPSS score for this CVE currently stands at 0.3813 with an identical peak value, indicating moderate but stable exploitation interest since 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
prevents

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
prevents

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.

finds

The same secure-coding and static-analysis activities surface missing neutralization of SQL metacharacters before the system is accepted.

prevents

Early warnings and shared best-practice information help organizations apply the latest remediation techniques against SQL-injection vulnerabilities.

prevents

Threat-intelligence feeds that surface new SQL-injection campaigns enable rapid updates to query-construction defenses and detection signatures before exploitation occurs.

prevents

Secure-coding rules and security testing phases mandate the use of parameterized queries or equivalent escaping, preventing the construction of dynamic SQL statements from untrusted input.

prevents

Language-specific secure coding rules, peer review and SAST together prevent the construction of SQL statements from untrusted data without proper parameterization or escaping.
