CVE-2026-106042 · Severity: critical · CVSS 9.9 · Published 2026-10-13

Ivanti Xtraction is an application that integrates with EPMM (Enterprise Patch Management Module) connectors to manage mobile device security and updates. A path traversal vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker to redirect the application's network requests to a malicious server and steal the EPMM connector credentials, enabling unauthorized access to mobile device management systems. This could lead to widespread compromise of managed devices and sensitive corporate data.

## Technical details

An external control of file name or path vulnerability in Xtraction allows authenticated remote attackers to manipulate file path handling, redirecting outbound requests to attacker-controlled endpoints. The vulnerability affects the EPMM connector credential transmission mechanism; exploitation requires authentication but yields full EPMM connector credentials that can be reused for unauthorized access. The issue is fixed in version 2026.4 and later.
