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.
-
Confirm Ivanti Endpoint Manager is installedCheck for the Ivanti Endpoint Manager service or look for related processes in Task Manager. Common installation paths: C:\Program Files\Ivanti\ or C:\Program Files\LANDesk\Affected if The product is not Ivanti Endpoint Manager
-
Identify installed EPM versionOpen the EPM console, go to Help > About, or check the registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\LANDesk\ManagementSuite\Setup\ProductVersionAffected if Version cannot be determined or is not visible
-
Compare version to affected rangesIf version shows 2022.x, check if SU6 is applied (look for SU6 in patch notes or version string). For 2024.x, verify if the September update is installedAffected if Version is 2022 (any build) OR version is 2024 prior to September update OR version is earlier than 2022
-
Verify admin interface accessibilityCheck if the EPM admin web console (typically ports 8080, 8443, or 443) is exposed to network. Review firewall rules and IIS bindingsAffected if Admin console is externally accessible without restriction
Environment is affected if Ivanti Endpoint Manager is installed with version 2022 (any build), 2024 (before September update), or any version prior to 2022, and the admin interface is network-accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped2022
Apply the vendor-supplied patch by upgrading to 2022 SU6 or later, or deploying the 2024 September update. Additionally, review and restrict admin-level access accounts to minimize attack surface.
2022 SU6 (Security Update 6) or 2024 September update
- Check current Ivanti Endpoint Manager version in the system console or about section
- If running version 2022 or any version before 2022 SU6: Plan upgrade to Ivanti EPM 2022 SU6 (Security Update 6)
- If running version 2024 prior to September: Plan upgrade to the 2024 September update
- Before upgrading, create a complete backup of the database and configuration
- Apply the upgrade following Ivanti's standard upgrade procedures
- After upgrade, verify the version matches the fixed release in the console
- Confirm core Endpoint Manager functionality operates normally post-upgrade
