U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) adds Advantive VeraCore and Ivanti EPM flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added the following vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog:
- CVE-2025-25181 Advantive VeraCore SQL Injection Vulnerability
- CVE-2024-57968 Advantive VeraCore Unrestricted File Upload Vulnerability
- CVE-2024-13159 Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) Absolute Path Traversal Vulnerability
- CVE-2024-13160 Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) Absolute Path Traversal Vulnerability
- CVE-2024-13161 Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) Absolute Path Traversal Vulnerability
A Vietnamese cybercrime group, tracked as XE Group, is exploiting the above VeraCore vulnerabilities, deploying reverse shells and web shells for persistent remote access.
The exploitation of VeraCore vulnerabilities has been attributed to a Vietnamese threat actor named XE Group. XE Group has been observed dropping reverse shells and web shells to maintain persistent remote access to compromised systems.
No security firm has publicly reported the exploitation of Ivanti EPM flaws in real-world attacks. However, experts are aware of the availability of PoC exploit code for these issues.
According to Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, FCEB agencies have to address the identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect their networks against attacks exploiting the flaws in the catalog.
Experts also recommend private organizations review the Catalog and address the vulnerabilities in their infrastructure.
CISA orders federal agencies to fix this vulnerability by March 31, 2025.
A few days ago, U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) added other Linux kernel and VMware ESXi and Workstation flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
