Name:Ivanti EPMM Remote Unauthenticated API Access CVE-2023-35078 id:66b9c9ba-7fb2-4e80-a3a2-496e5e078167 version:8 date:2026-03-27 author:Michael Haag, Splunk status:production type:TTP Description:The following analytic detects attempts to exploit CVE-2023-35078, a vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) versions up to 11.4.
It identifies HTTP requests to the endpoint "/mifs/aad/api/v2/authorized/users?*" with a status code of 200 in web logs.
This activity is significant as it indicates unauthorized remote access to restricted functionalities or resources.
If confirmed malicious, this could lead to data theft, unauthorized modifications, or further system compromise, necessitating immediate action to mitigate potential severe impacts. Data_source:
-Suricata
search:| tstats `security_content_summariesonly` count min(_time) as firstTime max(_time) as lastTime
how_to_implement:To implement this analytic, a network product similar to Suricata or Palo Alto needs to be mapped to the Web datamodel. Modify accordingly to work with your products. known_false_positives:The Proof of Concept exploit script indicates that status=200 is required for successful exploitation of the vulnerability.
False positives may be present if status=200 is removed from the search.
If it is removed,then the search also alert on status=301 and status=404 which indicates unsuccessful exploitation attempts.
Analysts may find it useful to hunt for these status codes as well, but it is likely to produce a significant number of alerts as this is a widespread vulnerability.
