CVE-2025-13659
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 · uneditedImproper control of dynamically managed code resources in Ivanti Endpoint Manager prior to version 2024 SU4 SR1 allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to write arbitrary files on the server, potentially leading to remote code execution. User interaction is required.
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.

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 versionLocate the installed version of Ivanti Endpoint Manager through the product UI, registry, or version information file provided with the softwareAffected if The installed version is 2024 or any version prior to 2024 SU4 SR1
-
Confirm the specific update levelVerify whether the 2024 version has Service Update 4 (SU4) and Service Release 1 (SR1) installedAffected if The version is 2024 SU4 or earlier, but not 2024 SU4 SR1 specifically
-
Determine if user interaction is possibleAssess whether the Ivanti Endpoint Manager web interface or client-facing components are accessible to trigger the required user interactionAffected if The server is accessible and users can be lured into triggering the exploitation
The environment is affected if Ivanti Endpoint Manager version is 2024 or earlier, or 2024 without SU4 SR1, and user interaction can be induced to trigger the arbitrary file write.
