Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Deserialization of untrusted data in the agent portal of Ivanti EPM before 2022 SU6, or the 2024 September update allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to achieve remote code execution.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Insecure deserialization vulnerability in the agent portal of Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending crafted serialized objects that are deserialized without proper validation.

MitigationApply vendor-supplied patches: upgrade to Ivanti EPM 2022 SU6 or later, or apply the September 2024 update. If immediate patching is not possible, consider network segmentation to restrict access to the agent portal from untrusted networks.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Ivanti Endpoint Manager installation
    Locate Ivanti Endpoint Manager in your environment by checking installed software listings, application inventories, or by searching for the Ivanti or LANDESK product directories on your servers.
    Affected if Ivanti Endpoint Manager is found in your environment
  2. Identify installed version
    Check the installed version of Ivanti Endpoint Manager through the product's administrative console, registry entries, or by running the product's version information utility. Compare this version number to 2022 and 2024.
    Affected if The installed version is any release of 2022, any release prior to 2022, or any release of 2024 (the specific patch level does not matter for this check)
  3. Verify agent portal is enabled
    Check whether the agent portal feature is enabled in the Ivanti Endpoint Manager configuration. This is typically found in the console under agent settings, portal settings, or remote access configurations.
    Affected if The agent portal is accessible and not disabled at the network or application level
  4. Assess network exposure
    Determine if the agent portal endpoint is reachable from network locations outside your trusted internal networks. Check firewall rules, load balancer configurations, and IIS/Apache bindings that expose the agent portal port.
    Affected if The agent portal is exposed to untrusted networks or the internet

You are affected if Ivanti Endpoint Manager versions 2022, 2024, or any version prior to 2022 are installed AND the agent portal is enabled and accessible.

Apply vendor-supplied patches: upgrade to Ivanti EPM 2022 SU6 or later, or apply the September 2024 update. If immediate patching is not possible, consider network segmentation to restrict access to the agent portal from untrusted networks.

Recommended fix High confidence

2022 SU6 or 2024 September update

  1. Identify the current version of Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) installed
  2. If running version 2022.x, upgrade to 2022 SU6 (Service Update 6) or later
  3. If running version 2024.x, apply the September 2024 security update or later
  4. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number in the product console
  5. Test critical functionality to ensure the update did not break existing workflows
