Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2023-35078

CVE-2023-35078 lets an unauthenticated attacker reach specific EPMM (formerly MobileIron Core) API paths and pull PII without any credentials. Any organization running internet-facing Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile is exposed, and this was used in real-world attacks against government targets. With CISA KEV confirmation, ransomware use, and an EPSS score at 100 percent, exploitation is not theoretical.

Do this: Identify all EPMM instances and apply Ivanti's patch immediately, restricting API access from the internet until patched.
