Ivanti Faces New Zero-Day Vulnerability Exploitation, Impacting Network Security
Ivanti, a company known for its mobile endpoint security products, has alerted its customers about a new zero-day vulnerability, CVE-2026-6973, that is being actively exploited. This vulnerability, found in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM), allows authenticated users with administrative privileges to execute code remotely. The company disclosed this issue along with four other high-severity vulnerabilities in the same product. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) quickly added this zero-day to its catalog of known exploited vulnerabilities. Ivanti has released patches for all five vulnerabilities, although the company noted that the exploitation of CVE-2026-6973 has been limited. The vulnerability requires administrative access, which reduces the risk for customers who have followed Ivanti's previous recommendations to rotate EPMM credentials.
