Unauthenticated API access via missing authentication enforcement
Published Jul 25, 2023 · Updated Aug 5, 2026
Authentication bypass in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile 11.10 and earlier allows remote attackers to reach protected API paths without credentials. The /mifs/aad/api/v2 route admits unauthenticated requests to protected API handlers, exposing user records and administrative operations. Internet access to the management interface is sufficient; exploitation discloses PII and allows server or managed-device configuration changes.
