AI analysis

CVE-2026-12647 is a missing authorization flaw (CWE-862) in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM in versions before 2026.2, where certain requests are not properly checked against the user's permissions. A remote attacker who holds any authenticated, low-privileged account can send crafted requests that bypass the authorization check, with no user interaction required. The outcome is arbitrary code execution on the ITSM server, and the scope-changed CVSS rating indicates the impact extends beyond the vulnerable component, consistent with a full server compromise. Any organization running an affected Ivanti Neurons for ITSM deployment (on-premises or hosted) prior to 2026.2 is exposed. As of this analysis there is no known public proof-of-concept, the flaw is not in CISA's KEV catalog, and EPSS puts 30-day exploitation probability at 1.2%, though it was patched alongside a batch of ten Ivanti flaws spanning EPMM, Neurons for ITSM and Sentry.

What to do: Upgrade Ivanti Neurons for ITSM to 2026.2 or later per Ivanti's advisory, which also covers the other recently disclosed EPMM, Neurons and Sentry flaws. Until patched, audit which authenticated accounts (especially low-privilege and self-service users) can reach the ITSM application and enforce least privilege. Monitor ITSM servers for unexpected processes or code execution as a sign of exploitation.

Affected
Ivanti Neurons for ITSMall versions before 2026.2
Estimated exposure
large≈10,000–50,000 enterprise deployments (server or SaaS instances of Ivanti's ITSM/Service Manager product line) — Ivanti's service-management platform (formerly HEAT/Service Manager) is used by a low-tens-of-thousands customer base within Ivanti's ~40,000-customer enterprise install base, with each customer typically running one or more server…

Ivanti EPMM, Neurons and Sentry Vulnerabilities Enable Privilege Escalation and RCE Attacks

Ivanti patched ten CVEs across EPMM, Neurons for ITSM and Sentry, including critical unauthenticated deserialization RCE; no active exploitation reported.

On September 8, 2026, Ivanti disclosed advisories covering ten CVEs in Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM), Neurons for ITSM, and Sentry. The most severe are two unauthenticated deserialization RCE flaws in Neurons for ITSM, CVE-2026-12744 and CVE-2026-12745 (CVSS 9.8), plus three missing-authorization RCE bugs rated 9.9 and three authenticated deserialization RCE flaws. EPMM has CVE-2026-18851 (CVSS 8.8), an authenticated privilege escalation flaw, and Sentry has CVE-2026-83527 (CVSS 8.1), an authentication bypass. Ivanti reports no evidence of active exploitation; cloud/SaaS ITSM was patched on August 9, 2026, while on-premises 2025.2 through 2026.1 require September 2026 patches.

Ivanti Patches Critical Flaws Across Enterprise Security Products

Ivanti released September updates fixing six critical RCE flaws in Neurons for ITSM plus authentication bypasses in Sentry and EPMM; no exploitation seen.

Ivanti's September 2026 updates fix eight flaws in Neurons for ITSM, six of them critical remote code execution bugs with CVSS scores up to 9.9, including missing authorization issues (CVE-2026-12647, CVE-2026-12645, CVE-2026-12646) and deserialization flaws (CVE-2026-12650, CVE-2026-12744, CVE-2026-12745). Sentry releases R10.8.2, R10.7.3, and R10.6.4 patch CVE-2026-83527, an unauthenticated high-severity authentication bypass, while EPMM versions 12.10.0.0, 12.9.0.2, and 12.8.0.4 fix the authenticated bypass CVE-2026-18851. Ivanti says it is not aware of any exploitation in the wild. Citrix separately patched two medium-severity flaws in Workspace app for Windows.

Ivanti Patches 10 EPMM, Neurons for ITSM and Sentry Flaws Enabling RCE and Admin Access

Ivanti patches 10 flaws in EPMM, Neurons for ITSM, and Sentry, including two 9.8-rated unauthenticated RCEs in ITSM.

Ivanti released fixes for 10 vulnerabilities across Endpoint Manager Mobile, Neurons for ITSM, and Sentry, and said it was not aware of active exploitation at disclosure. The most severe are CVE-2026-12744 and CVE-2026-12745, unauthenticated deserialization RCEs rated 9.8 in Neurons for ITSM, alongside authenticated deserialization and missing-authorization RCEs rated up to 9.9. CVE-2026-18851 is an 8.8-rated EPMM privilege escalation to administrator, and CVE-2026-83527 is an 8.1-rated unauthenticated authentication bypass in Sentry granting administrative access. Ivanti said the ITSM weaknesses were found using large language models; Cloud/SaaS fixes shipped August 9, 2026, and on-premises patches are available from September 2026.
