SQL Injection RCE in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Core Server

IdentifiersCVE-2024-29824CWE-89· Improper Neutralization of Special…

CVE-2024-29824 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability in the Core server of Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) 2022 SU5 and prior. The issue is described as an unspecified SQL injection flaw that can be exploited by an unauthenticated attacker on the same network. Supporting technical reporting indicates the vulnerable code path involves the RecordGoodApp function in PatchBiz.dll, where attacker-controlled input associated with the goodApp.md5 value can be sent in an HTTP POST request to the /WSStatusEvents/EventHandler.asmx endpoint. By manipulating this value, an attacker can execute malicious SQL queries against the underlying database. Reported exploitation paths include use of SQL Server functionality such as xp_cmdshell, resulting in arbitrary command execution on the EPM server and turning the SQL injection into remote code execution.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can allow an unauthenticated attacker within the same network to execute arbitrary code on the Ivanti EPM server. The vulnerability also enables execution of attacker-controlled SQL queries against the backend database, which can expose or manipulate sensitive data. Because EPM is a high-privilege endpoint management platform, compromise of the core server can lead to unauthorized access, server takeover, and downstream compromise of managed endpoints. The vulnerability has been added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and Ivanti has acknowledged a limited number of customers were exploited in the wild.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by restricting access to the EPM Core server and associated web services to only trusted management networks and hosts, and ensure the product is not unnecessarily internet-exposed. Increase monitoring for suspicious HTTP POST requests to /WSStatusEvents/EventHandler.asmx, unusual SQL activity, and command execution patterns consistent with xp_cmdshell abuse. TLS inspection or deeper application-layer traffic analysis may be required to identify exploit payloads delivered in request bodies. Organizations should also hunt for signs of prior compromise because patching does not remove attacker persistence or other post-exploitation artifacts.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Ivanti Endpoint Manager to a fixed release beyond EPM 2022 SU5 and prior, following Ivanti's security advisory and supported upgrade path. Organizations should apply Ivanti's available security updates with highest priority after appropriate testing. Because the vulnerability has been reported as actively exploited, remediation should be treated as urgent. Patching alone does not remediate historical compromise, so affected environments should also perform incident response validation on the EPM server and managed infrastructure.

CVE-2024-29824MaturityPoCVerified exploit

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-29824, a remote code execution vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) appliances. The exploit is implemented in Python (CVE-2024-29824.py) and leverages a blind SQL injection vulnerability in the /WSStatusEvents/EventHandler.asmx SOAP endpoint. The script constructs a malicious SOAP XML payload that injects SQL commands to enable xp_cmdshell and execute arbitrary system commands on the backend SQL Server. The exploit requires the attacker to provide a target URL and a file containing commands to execute. The README.md provides usage instructions and background information. The exploit is operational, allowing for remote code execution if the target is vulnerable and accessible.
