CVE-2026-12745 is a deserialization of untrusted data flaw (CWE-502) in Ivanti Neurons for ITSM, the vendor's enterprise IT service management platform. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send crafted serialized data to a vulnerable instance over the network, which the server deserializes without validation. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution on the server, with critical confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 3.1: 9.8). All deployments of Neurons for ITSM before version 2026.2 are affected, including instances published to the internet for self-service access. As of this analysis there is no known exploitation and no public proof-of-concept, the flaw is not in CISA KEV, and EPSS assigns a 2.1% probability of exploitation within 30 days (81st percentile).

What to do: Upgrade Ivanti Neurons for ITSM to version 2026.2 or later. Until patched, restrict network exposure of the ITSM server (especially any self-service portals reachable from the internet) and monitor for anomalous traffic, prioritizing patching of internet-facing instances first since no authentication is required.

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.
