Ivanti Patches Critical Sentry Flaws Allowing Root Remote Code Execution

Public release of technical details raises risk to internet-facing gateways, prompting urgent patching.

Overview

  • Ivanti on Tuesday issued Sentry updates 10.5.2, 10.6.2 and 10.7.1 to fix two critical vulnerabilities and also released fixes for several Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) flaws.
  • CVE-2026-10520 is an unauthenticated OS command injection that can let a remote attacker run arbitrary code as root on vulnerable Sentry appliances.
  • CVE-2026-10523 is an authentication-bypass flaw that can allow an attacker to create administrator accounts and gain full control of a Sentry device.
  • Researchers from WatchTowr published technical analysis and a detection script for CVE-2026-10520, and Ivanti says it has no evidence of active exploitation at disclosure.
  • Because Sentry commonly sits on internet-reachable networks and can expose credentials and session tokens, organizations should apply the patches, scan for vulnerable instances, and monitor logs for indicators of compromise.
