# ivanti endpoint manager: Absolute path traversal in Ivanti EPM before the 2024 January-2025 Security Update and 2022 SU6 January-2025…

Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) has an absolute path traversal flaw that lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker read files outside the intended directory. CISA lists it as actively exploited, and the sources say the impact is leaking sensitive information.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## Affected

- vendor:Ivanti Endpoint Manager (EPM) affected ? fixed ?
- vendor:ivanti endpoint manager affected < 2022 fixed 2022
