## Technical details

A code injection vulnerability (CWE-94) exists in the API component of Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) versions 12.5.0.0 and prior. The flaw stems from an insecure implementation of the Hibernate Validator open-source library (related to CVE-2025-35036). An authenticated attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted API requests to the server, leading to remote code execution (RCE). While authentication is required, the vulnerability has been observed being exploited in the wild. Administrators should apply the vendor-provided patches or mitigations immediately.
