Software services provider Ivanti is warning of a new critical zero-day flaw impacting Ivanti Sentry that it said is being actively exploited in the wild, marking an escalation of its security woes.

"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," the company said.

Norwegian cybersecurity company mnemonic has been credited with discovering and reporting the flaw.

"Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated threat actor to read and write files to the Ivanti Sentry server and execute OS commands as system administrator through use of 'super user do'," it said.

What's more, CVE-2023-38035 could be weaponized after exploiting CVE-2023-35078 and CVE-2023-35081, two other recently disclosed flaws in the Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile in scenarios where port 8443 is not publicly accessible as the admin portal is used to communicate with the Ivanti EPMM server.

The development comes a week after Ivanti fixed two critical stack-based buffer overflow flaws in its Avalanche software that could lead to crashes and arbitrary code execution on vulnerable installations.
