Latest Ivanti Sentry vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-10520 and CVE-2026-10523 #

Ivanti disclosed that certain versions of Sentry are susceptible to two vulnerabilities.

  • CVE-2026-10520: An OS command injection vulnerability allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to achieve root-level remote code execution (RCE). This vulnerability has been designated CVE-2026-10520 and has been rated critical with a CVSS score of 10.0.
  • CVE-2026-10523: An authentication bypass vulnerability allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to create arbitrary administrative accounts and obtain full administrative access. This vulnerability has been designated CVE-2026-10523 and has been rated critical with a CVSS score of 9.9.

    The following versions are affected:

    • Ivanti Sentry: Versions 10.5.1, 10.6.1, 10.7.0, and prior.

    Note: Older, unsupported product versions have not been tested but are likely also affected.

    What is Ivanti Sentry? #

    Ivanti Sentry, formerly MobileIron Sentry, is an inline security gateway appliance that controls, encrypts, and isolates data traffic between remote mobile devices and a company's internal corporate servers based on device compliance rules set by a central management platform.

    What is the impact? #

    Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities would allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication, create administrative accounts, and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges, potentially leading to complete system compromise.

    Are updates or workarounds available? #

    Users are encouraged to update to the latest version as quickly as possible:

    • Ivanti Sentry 10.5.x: Version 10.5.2 or later.
    • Ivanti Sentry 10.6.x: Version 10.6.2 or later.
    • Ivanti Sentry 10.7.x: Version 10.7.1 or later.
    • All older, unsupported versions: Migrate to a supported, patched release.
