Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2026-1340 is a code injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-94, affecting Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 and permits unauthenticated remote code execution on the affected mobile endpoint management platform.
An attacker with network access can send specially crafted input to trigger the injection, executing arbitrary code without authentication or user interaction. Successful exploitation grants full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the target system.
Ivanti has published a security advisory addressing CVE-2026-1340 alongside a related issue, while CISA lists the vulnerability in its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, confirming observed in-the-wild exploitation and mandating timely remediation for federal agencies.
The associated EPSS score reached a peak of 0.7582 on 2026-04-17 before receding to its current value of 0.7387, indicating sustained exploitation interest following disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.
Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.
Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).
PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.
Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
