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
An exposed dangerous method in Ivanti DSM before version 2026.1.1 allows a local authenticated attacker to escalate their privileges.

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 confidence

Ivanti DSM before version 2026.1.1 contains an exposed dangerous method that allows a local authenticated attacker to escalate privileges to a higher permission level. The vulnerability requires the attacker to have valid credentials for the system, but the exposed method can be leveraged to gain unauthorized elevated access.

MitigationUpgrade Ivanti DSM to version 2026.1.1 or later to remediate this vulnerability. As this is a local privilege escalation, ensure that only trusted personnel have authenticated access to systems running Ivanti DSM.

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 DSM is installed
    Check for Ivanti DSM components on the system. Look for installation directories (typically under Program Files\Ivanti or similar), or query installed programs via system inventory tools.
    Affected if Ivanti Desktop & Server Management software is present on the system
  2. Determine installed Ivanti DSM version
    Locate the version information for Ivanti DSM. Common methods: check the software's About dialog, examine version info in the installation directory, or query via the product's management console if accessible.
    Affected if Unable to retrieve version information or version is displayed
  3. Compare version against vulnerable range
    Compare your installed version number to the affected range: versions prior to 2026.1.1 are vulnerable.
    Affected if Installed version is less than 2026.1.1 (for example, 2025.x, 2024.x, or earlier)
  4. Assess exposure context
    Since this is a local privilege escalation requiring valid credentials, evaluate whether untrusted or low-privilege users have authenticated access to the system hosting Ivanti DSM.
    Affected if Untrusted or low-privilege authenticated users can access the Ivanti DSM server

You are affected if Ivanti DSM is installed and the installed version is any release prior to 2026.1.1, and untrusted users have authenticated access to the system.

Fixed in 2026.1.1
Interim mitigation
