Ivanti’s problems with security defects in its enterprise-facing products are starting to pile up.
The IT software company on Monday shipped urgent patches for a critical-severity vulnerability in the Ivanti Sentry (formerly MobileIron Sentry) product and warned that hackers could exploit the issue to access sensitive API data and configurations.
The vulnerability, tagged as CVE-2023-38035, affects Ivanti Sentry versions 9.18 and prior, and could be exploited by malicious hackers to change configuration, run system commands, or write files onto the system, Ivanti said in an advisory.
“If exploited, this vulnerability enables an unauthenticated actor to access some sensitive APIs that are used to configure the Ivanti Sentry on the administrator portal (port 8443, commonly MICS),” the company said.
While the issue carries a 9.8/10 CVSS severity score, Ivanti notes there is low risk of exploitation for enterprise administrations who do not expose port 8443 to the internet.
“Ivanti recommends that customers restrict access to MICS to internal management networks and not expose this to the internet,” the company said.
Ivanti said it was “aware of a limited number of customers impacted by CVE-2023-38035” but it is not yet clear if the issue is being exploited as zero-day in the wild.
Ivanti’s security problems have escalated in recent months with the release of patches for critical flaws in the Avalanche Enterprise MDM Product line, in-the-wild exploitation of vulnerabilities in Ivanti EPMM and documented APT activity targeting Ivanti zero-day flaws.
