Improper Path Protection in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM

IdentifiersCVE-2026-4913CWE-424· Improper Protection of Alternate…

CVE-2026-4913 is an improper protection of an alternate path vulnerability in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM (N-ITSM) affecting version 2025.3 and earlier, fixed in version 2025.4. The flaw is described as improper protection of an alternate path / protection mechanism failure, allowing a remote authenticated attacker to continue accessing the application even after an administrator has disabled the attacker’s account. Based on the available information, the issue appears to stem from an alternate access path that is not correctly subject to the same account-disable enforcement as the primary path, resulting in incomplete revocation of access.

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 allows an authenticated attacker to retain access to Ivanti N-ITSM after their account has been disabled. This undermines account revocation and access control enforcement, potentially enabling continued unauthorized use of the application, access to data and workflows otherwise denied to a disabled account, and persistence within the ITSM environment until the flaw is remediated or access is otherwise terminated.

Mitigation

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

If immediate upgrade is not possible, prioritize compensating controls around account revocation and session invalidation for N-ITSM users, especially privileged or recently disabled accounts. Review and terminate active sessions for disabled users, monitor for continued access by accounts marked disabled, and restrict network exposure to trusted administrative and user populations where feasible. However, the primary mitigation is vendor patching to version 2025.4.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Ivanti Neurons for ITSM to version 2025.4, which contains the vendor fix for CVE-2026-4913. Ivanti stated that version 2025.4 is available through the Ivanti License System for on-premise customers. Cloud-hosted environments were reportedly remediated by Ivanti on December 12, 2025, and cloud customers do not need to take additional action based on the provided information.
