Unauthenticated code execution via unsafe token deserialization
Published Jun 30, 2023 · Updated May 5, 2025
Deserialization of untrusted data in Ivanti Endpoint Manager 2022 SU3 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. The ProcessEPMAuthToken method deserializes user-supplied token data without proper validation, enabling attacker-controlled objects to run. No authentication is required, and successful exploitation runs code as NETWORK SERVICE, enabling host compromise and movement toward connected systems.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
