Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires (1) valid authenticated access to Ivanti Xtraction at low privilege (CVSS PR:L), and (2) the application being configured with an EPMM connector that transmits credentials during request processing - if no EPMM connector is deployed, there are no connector credentials to harvest. The attacker must be able to supply or influence a file name/path value that the application uses to direct an outbound request (CWE-73). Limiting factors: authentication is mandatory (not exploitable by fully unauthenticated attackers), and value is contingent on an active EPMM connector configuration; environments not integrating Xtraction with EPMM are not exposed to credential theft via this path.

Impact

Multiple signals must be weighed carefully here. The vendor-supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H = 9.9 Critical) indicates a low-complexity, remotely reachable flaw requiring only low-privilege authentication, with a scope change - consistent with the description, since stolen EPMM connector credentials grant access to a separate system (Ivanti EPMM). However, the I:H and A:H ratings appear inflated: the described impact is purely credential disclosure (External Control of File Name or Path, CWE-73, redirecting application requests to an attacker endpoint), which is fundamentally a confidentiality compromise, not integrity or availability destruction on the Xtraction system itself. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC is present in the provided data, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active or widespread exploitation. The practical priority is driven by the scope change and the sensitivity of harvested EPMM credentials (which govern mobile device management) rather than by any confirmed exploitation signal. This is a genuine high-value target for authenticated insiders or attackers who have already gained a foothold, but the PR:L authentication requirement meaningfully limits mass, unauthenticated exploitation. Note: the 9.9 score reflects vendor self-assessment including I:H/A:H that the description does not substantiate - treat the raw score with caution and prioritize based on credential exposure.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with valid low-privileged Xtraction credentials manipulates a file name or path parameter to redirect application-generated requests to an attacker-controlled endpoint. When Xtraction transmits EPMM connector credentials as part of its normal operation, those credentials are captured by the attacker's server, enabling subsequent unauthorized access to the connected Ivanti EPMM environment. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 13, 2026

Credential disclosure in Ivanti Xtraction (versions before 2026.4) allows an attacker holding a valid low-privileged authenticated account to manipulate a file name or path value the application uses, redirecting application-generated requests to an attacker-controlled endpoint and capturing EPMM connector credentials transmitted by the application. The flaw is network-reachable and requires only low privileges (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N), and because the vulnerable component crosses a trust boundary the scope is changed (S:C) with High confidentiality impact; no public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation were identified at time of analysis, and EPSS data was not provided. Exposure is conditional: the credential-theft path only exists where Xtraction is configured with an EPMM connector that transmits credentials during request processing, so organizations not integrating Xtraction with EPMM are not exposed through this vector.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Ivanti Xtraction to 2026.4 or later, which is the fixed release indicated by the advisory's "before version 2026.4" affected range, and consult https://hub.ivanti.com/s/article/Security-Advisory-Ivanti-Xtraction-Multiple-CVEs for the vendor's complete guidance across the bundled Xtraction CVEs. If the EPMM connector is not required in your deployment, remove or disable that connector configuration so there are no connector credentials in transit - this eliminates the credential-theft path entirely, though the underlying path-redirection weakness may still be reachable for other request types; the trade-off is loss of EPMM integration functionality. Where the connector must remain, enforce outbound egress allow-listing on the Xtraction host so application-generated requests can only reach trusted EPMM endpoints, accepting the operational cost of maintaining and testing those rules. Rotate EPMM connector credentials as a precaution if redirection to an unexpected destination is suspected, restrict and audit low-privileged Xtraction accounts to reduce the pool of usable footholds, and monitor egress logs for requests to unrecognized hosts. Because exploitation requires authenticated access, attack surface is reduced by reviewing account provisioning and disabling dormant users.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path): Xtraction accepts a user-influenced file name or path value and uses it to direct an outbound, application-generated request rather than constraining the destination to a trusted, allow-listed endpoint. Because the request is issued by the application itself and carries EPMM (Endpoint Manager Mobile) connector credentials in transit, redirecting the request to an attacker-controlled host leaks those credentials - a trust-boundary crossing that justifies the S:C scope change in the vector. The CPE entry cpe:2.3:a:ivanti:xtraction:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* uses a wildcard version, consistent with the advisory's statement that all releases before 2026.4 are affected; the vulnerability resides in the integration/connector layer that brokers requests between Xtraction and EPMM rather than in a standalone network service. Note that the vendor-published score of 9.9 reflects C:H/I:H/A:H, whereas our independent assessment limits the impact to confidentiality loss (C:H/I:N/A:N), because credential interception discloses data without demonstrated modification, destruction, or denial of the affected systems.

DescriptionCVE.org

An External Control of File Name or Path vulnerability in Ivanti Xtraction before version 2026.4 allows a remote authenticated attacker to redirect application-generated requests to an attacker-controlled endpoint and obtain EPMM connector credentials transmitted by the application.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Ivanti Xtraction deployments prior to version 2026.4 contain a credential-disclosure flaw that lets any user with a valid low-privileged account redirect application-generated requests to an attacker-controlled endpoint and steal EPMM connector credentials. Organizations that run Xtraction integrated with an EPMM connector are exposed; those without that integration are not affected through this path. Because stolen connector credentials can grant broad access into mobile-device and endpoint management infrastructure, this warrants prioritized management attention even though no patch and no known exploitation currently exist.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: isolate or network-restrict Xtraction instances that use EPMM connectors, disable unnecessary EPMM connectors, rotate connector credentials, enforce least privilege and MFA on Xtraction accounts, restrict the file name/path inputs reachable by low-privileged users where configuration permits, and monitor outbound traffic for requests to unrecognized endpoints.
