Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Ivanti Endpoint Manager installationLocate the Ivanti Endpoint Manager installation on the system and determine its version number. This is typically accessible through the product's About or Help section in the management console, or via installed program information in Windows Add/Remove Programs.Affected if The installed version is 2022 or any version prior to 2022 Service Update 5 (SU5)
-
Determine the exact version and build numberRetrieve the full version and build number of the installed Ivanti Endpoint Manager. Compare this against the 2022 SU5 release to confirm whether the installed version includes the patch or falls within the affected range.Affected if The version is 2022 with any service update prior to SU5, or the exact version cannot be confirmed as post-SU5
-
Verify Core server component statusConfirm that the Ivanti Endpoint Manager Core server component is installed and running on the affected system. This is the component where the SQL injection vulnerability exists.Affected if The Core server component is present and operational on the system
-
Assess network accessibility of the Core serverDetermine if the Core server is accessible over the network. The vulnerability requires an authenticated attacker on the same network to exploit the SQL injection. Check network binding configurations and firewall rules.Affected if The Core server is reachable over the network from systems other than localhost
The environment is affected if Ivanti Endpoint Manager version 2022 or prior (pre-SU5) is installed with the Core server component exposed to network access.
