Ivanti Zero-Day Vulnerability Exploited in Attack on Norwegian Government

A new zero-day vulnerability affecting a product of US-based enterprise software provider Ivanti has been exploited in an attack aimed at the Norwegian government.  Norwegian authorities announced on Monday that a dozen government ministries had been targeted in a cyberattack involving a previously unknown vulnerability.  The country’s National Security Authority later clarified that the attack involved the exploitation of CVE-2023-35078, a zero-day vulnerability impacting Ivanti’s Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM), formerly known as MobileIron Core.  EPMM is a widely used mobile management software engine that enables IT teams to set policies for mobile devices, applications, and content. According to an advisory published on Monday by Ivanti for CVE-2023-35078, the flaw is an unauthenticated API access issue that can be exploited by remote threat actors “to potentially access users’ personally identifiable information and make limited changes to the server”.
