The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) adds a flaw in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added a flaw in the Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM), tracked as CVE-2026-6973 (CVSS score of 7.1), to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog.

Ivanti warns customers of a high‑severity zero‑day vulnerability, tracked as CVE‑2026‑6973, in Endpoint Manager Mobile that is already being exploited.

“At the time of disclosure, we are aware of very limited exploitation of CVE-2026-6973, which requires admin authentication for successful exploitation.” reads the advisory. “We are not aware of any customers being exploited by the other vulnerabilities disclosed today.”

The flaw, caused by improper input validation, allows attackers with admin privileges to execute arbitrary code on systems running EPMM 12.8.0.0 and earlier. Customers are urged to patch immediately to prevent compromise.

Ivanti EPMM 12.6.1.1, 12.7.0.1, and 12.8.0.1 address the vulnerability. The vulnerability doesn’t affect Ivanti Neurons for MDM, Ivanti’s cloud-based unified endpoint management solution, Ivanti EPM (a similarly named, but different product), Ivanti Sentry, or any other Ivanti products.

According to Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, FCEB agencies have to address the identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect their networks against attacks exploiting the flaws in the catalog.

Experts also recommend that private organizations review the Catalog and address the vulnerabilities in their infrastructure.

CISA orders federal agencies to fix the vulnerability by May 10, 2026.
