Summary

A vulnerability is present in Ivanti EndPoint Manager version 2021/2022 prior to SU5. This vulnerability is classified as CVE-2023-39336 and was given a critical CVSS score of 9.6. If exploited, an attacker with access to the internal network can leverage an unspecified SQL injection to execute arbitrary SQL queries and retrieve output without the need for authentication. This can potentially allow for an attacker to control all machines running an agent from the end point manager. If the core server is configured to use Microsoft SQL Express, this could lead to remote-code execution on the core server.

Impact Assessment

This vulnerability has a critically high CVSS score of 9.6 because it allows a network-adjacent attacker to potentially gain control of EndPoint Manager-controlled machines without requiring authentication. It can also result in remote code execution if the core server is configured to use SQL express.
