CVE-2024-29847: Ivanti EPM agent portal deserialization allows unauthenticated RCE
Ivanti · Endpoint Manager
The agent portal in Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) deserializes untrusted data, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute code. The flaw affects versions before 2022 SU6 and the 2024 September update, and carries a critical CVSS score of 9.8.
Description
Deserialization of untrusted data in the agent portal of Ivanti EPM before 2022 SU6, or the 2024 September update allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to achieve remote code execution.
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Automated analysis
critical priorityCVSS 9.8 with unauthenticated network RCE and high EPSS probability make this a top remediation priority despite no KEV listing.
What it is
The agent portal in Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) deserializes untrusted data, allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute code. The flaw affects versions before 2022 SU6 and the 2024 September update, and carries a critical CVSS score of 9.8.
Impact
An attacker gains remote code execution on the EPM server, which can lead to full compromise of the endpoint management infrastructure and any managed endpoints.
Attack surface
Reachable over the network through the agent portal with no authentication and no user interaction required, per the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N.
Exploitation
Not listed in CISA KEV and no public exploit references are provided, but EPSS is 0.529 (98.9th percentile), indicating elevated likelihood of exploitation activity.
What to do
- Apply the Ivanti EPM 2022 SU6 or 2024 September update per the vendor advisory.
- Restrict network access to the EPM agent portal to trusted management networks only.
- Monitor EPM server logs for anomalous deserialization or process execution activity.
- Isolate or segment EPM servers from general user networks to limit lateral movement.
Detection
- Hunt for unexpected child processes spawned by the EPM agent portal service (e.g., cmd.exe, powershell.exe).
- Monitor for inbound connections to the EPM agent portal from untrusted or external IP addresses.
- Review EPM server logs for deserialization errors or unusual agent portal requests.
- Alert on new or modified files in EPM web directories or temporary folders.
