Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires valid EPM credentials at any authenticated privilege level (PR:L per CVSS vector). The S3 bucket session recording feature must be explicitly configured in the EPM deployment - this is not a default out-of-box setting and limits exposure to environments that have enabled and connected S3-based recording storage. Network-level access to the EPM Core service over the internet or internal network is required (AV:N). Exploitation is limited to write operations within the configured S3 bucket; there is no indication of cross-account bucket access or read/exfiltration capability based on available description data.

Impact

The CVSS 7.7 High rating is driven primarily by the scope change (S:C) and high integrity impact (I:H) against the S3 bucket, with low authentication (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N) keeping exploitation straightforward for any valid EPM account holder. The attack complexity is rated Low, though the vulnerability is only exploitable when S3 session recording storage is explicitly configured - a deployment-specific prerequisite not captured in the base CVSS vector. No EPSS data was provided, and neither KEV status nor public POC code has been identified, which reduces immediate operational urgency despite the high base score. Real-world risk is best framed as an insider or compromised-credential threat: the attacker already holds EPM credentials and can now tamper with forensic session recordings - covering tracks, injecting false recordings, or corrupting incident response data. The tag 'Information Disclosure' in the source intelligence appears to be a mis-categorization; the impact is integrity-focused (write control), not confidentiality.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated EPM user - such as a help-desk operator or a threat actor who has phished EPM credentials - submits a session recording request with a crafted filename containing path traversal or arbitrary key sequences. The EPM Core component passes this unsanitized value directly to the S3 API, writing the attacker's payload to an arbitrary key in the recording bucket. With full write control, the attacker can overwrite legitimate session recordings, inject fabricated recordings, or delete forensic artifacts ahead of an investigation. No public POC code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 11, 2026

Full write control over configured S3 session recording buckets is achievable in Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) before version 2024 SU7 by remote authenticated attackers exploiting a CWE-73 filename control flaw. The Core component fails to sanitize user-supplied input used to construct S3 object paths, enabling any low-privilege authenticated EPM user to write arbitrary data to the session recording bucket - potentially overwriting or corrupting forensic evidence. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis; the fix is available as EPM 2024 SU7.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Ivanti Endpoint Manager to version 2024 SU7 or later, which is the vendor-released patch resolving this vulnerability per the August 2026 Ivanti security advisory at https://hub.ivanti.com/s/article/Security-Advisory-Ivanti-Endpoint-Manager-EPM-August-2026. As a compensating control where immediate patching is not feasible, administrators should apply least-privilege IAM policies to the S3 bucket used for session recordings - restricting the EPM service account to write-only access on a tightly scoped key prefix, and denying PutObject operations outside that prefix; this limits the blast radius of filename manipulation but does not eliminate the underlying flaw. Additionally, enabling S3 Object Lock (WORM mode) on the recording bucket prevents overwrite of existing objects, preserving forensic integrity even if an attacker controls the key path.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path) describes a class of vulnerability where application logic uses attacker-controlled input to construct filesystem or object-storage paths without adequate validation or canonicalization. In Ivanti EPM's Core component, filenames associated with session recordings are apparently derived from attacker-influenced request parameters. When EPM is configured to store session recordings in Amazon S3 (or an S3-compatible store), the unsanitized filename propagates directly into S3 object key construction, allowing the attacker to specify arbitrary keys within the bucket. The affected product is identified by CPE cpe:2.3:a:ivanti:endpoint_manager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all EPM versions before the 2024 SU7 service update. The CVSS scope change (S:C) correctly reflects that the integrity impact lands on the S3 bucket - a component outside EPM's own trust boundary.

External control of a filename in the Core of Ivanti Endpoint Manager before version 2024 SU7 allows a remote authenticated attacker full write control over an S3 bucket configured for session recording storage.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) contains a vulnerability enabling low-privilege users to modify or delete session recordings in S3 storage. This exposes organizations to compliance violations and undermines forensic capabilities for incident investigations and regulatory audits. Immediate deployment of EPM 2024 SU7 is required to restore forensic integrity.
