CVE-2025-13662
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 verification of cryptographic signatures in the patch management component of Ivanti Endpoint Manager prior to version 2024 SU4 SR1 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. 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.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceIvanti Endpoint Manager's patch management component fails to properly verify cryptographic signatures before 2024 SU4 SR1, enabling a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code through malicious patches, contingent on user interaction.

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.
-
Determine Ivanti Endpoint Manager versionLocate the installation directory or check the product About section. Common paths include C:\Program Files\Ivanti\EndpointManager or check the console's System Overview page. Identify the full version string including any SU (Service Update) and SR (Service Release) designations.Affected if The version is 2024 without SU4 SR1, or any version before 2024 (e.g., 2023, 2022, earlier). Versions prior to 2024 SU4 SR1 are vulnerable.
-
Verify patch management component is in useCheck if the Patch Management module is enabled. In the Ivanti Endpoint Manager console, navigate to Patch > Patch Settings or review the configured patch policies. Alternatively, check the database or configuration files for active patch deployment schedules.Affected if Patch Management is enabled and configured to deploy patches to endpoints. The vulnerability requires the patch management component to be active.
-
Confirm user-facing patch deployment is configuredReview the patch deployment settings to determine if end-users can initiate or approve patch installations. Check for any user-facing prompts, scheduled patch deployments, or self-service patch portals.Affected if Users can interact with patch installation processes (approve, initiate, or receive automated patch deployments). The flaw requires user interaction to trigger the malicious patch execution.
You are affected if Ivanti Endpoint Manager is running version 2024 without SU4 SR1 (or any earlier version) AND the patch management component is enabled with user-accessible patch deployment capabilities.

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 · scoped2024
Upgrade Ivanti Endpoint Manager to version 2024 SU4 SR1 or later to remediate the cryptographic signature verification flaw.
2024 SU4 SR1
