CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2025-10985 is a high-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile. Its CVSS base score is 7.2 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 3% 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-2025-10985 is an OS command injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-78, that affects the admin panel of Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) in versions prior to 12.6.0.2, 12.5.0.4, and 12.4.0.4. The flaw received a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.2 reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability when successfully exploited.
A remote attacker who already possesses authenticated administrative access to the admin panel can supply crafted input that results in arbitrary operating system command execution on the underlying server. This grants the attacker full remote code execution capabilities within the context of the EPMM application.
The single referenced Ivanti security advisory covers this issue among multiple CVEs disclosed in October 2025 and directs administrators to upgrade affected EPMM instances to one of the listed fixed releases to eliminate the command injection vector. The associated EPSS score has remained flat at 0.0923 with no material increase observed since publication.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.
Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.
Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.
Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.
Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.
Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
