Security News > 2023 > August > Ivanti Sentry zero-day vulnerability exploited, patch ASAP! (CVE-2023-38035)
Ivanti is urging administrators of Ivanti Sentry gateways to patch a newly discovered vulnerability that could be exploited to change configuration, run system commands, or write files onto the vulnerable system.
CVE-2023-38035 is an API authentication bypass flaw that may enable unauthenticated attackers to access APIs that are used to configure the Ivanti Sentry on the administrator portal/interface, which runs by default on port 8443.
CVE-2023-38035 affects the MICS Admin Portal in Ivanti MobileIron Sentry versions 9.18.0 and below, including now unsupported releases.
As the Mnemonic researchers explained, "Ivanti Sentry is a server in an Ivanti deployment that serves as a gatekeeper between mobile devices and a company's ActiveSync server, such as a Microsoft Exchange Server, or with a backend resource such as a Sharepoint server, or it can be configured as a Kerberos Key Distribution Center Proxy server. Sentry gets configuration and device information from the Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile platform."
Ivanti made sure to stress that CVE-2023-38035 does not affect other Ivanti products.
The company has recently fixed three vulnerabilities in Ivanti EPMM, two of which had been leveraged by attackers to target Norwegian ministries.
