GoKawiilSecurity software company Ivanti has released patches to address two critical vulnerabilities in its Sentry secure mobile gateway solution, including a maximum-severity flaw that enables remote attackers to execute code with root privileges.
Formerly known as MobileIron Sentry, Ivanti Sentry is a security gateway appliance that secures traffic between back-end corporate systems and remote mobile devices.
Tracked as CVE-2026-10520, the maximum-severity vulnerability stems from an OS command injection weakness. The second Sentry security flaw patched on Tuesday (tracked as CVE-2026-10523) is a critical authentication bypass that can be exploited remotely by unauthenticated attackers to create rogue administrative accounts and gain full administrative access.
Ivanti patched both security issues on Tuesday with the release of Sentry versions R10.5.2, R10.6.2, and R10.7.1.
Luckily, the company said it has no evidence that the two vulnerabilities are being exploited in the wild and advised admins to upgrade their systems to protect against potential attacks.
"We are not aware of any customers being exploited by these vulnerabilities at the time of disclosure," Ivanti said. "Currently, there is no known public exploitation of this vulnerability that could be used to provide a list of indicators of compromise."
In recent years, Ivanti vulnerabilities have often been targeted in attacks because they provide an easy way for cybercriminals to breach targets' enterprise networks and steal sensitive corporate and customer data.
For instance, most recently, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) ordered U.S. federal agencies in May to patch their Ivanti devices after the company warned customers to immediately patch a high-severity remote code execution vulnerability in Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) that was exploited in zero-day attacks.
Multiple other Ivanti zero-days have been exploited in recent years to breach a wide range of targets, including government agencies worldwide, including two other critical EPMM vulnerabilities addressed by Ivanti in January after being exploited as zero-days in attacks against a "very limited number of customers."
In total, CISA has tagged 34 vulnerabilities across various SolarWinds products as actively exploited in attacks over the past several years, with 12 of them also used in ransomware attacks.
