CVE-2026-10520, CVE-2026-10523 - Multiple critical vulnerabilities affecting Ivanti Sentry

Rapid7 · Jun 10, 2026

OverviewOn June 9, 2026, Ivanti published a security advisory for two critical vulnerabilities affecting Ivanti Sentry (formerly known as MobileIron Sentry), which per the vendor website is an “in-line gateway that manages, encrypts, and secures traffic between the mobile device and back-end enterprise systems”. The most severe issue, CVE-2026-10520, is an OS command injection vulnerability with a CVSS score of 10.0 that allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to achieve remote code execution (RCE) with root privileges. The second vulnerability, CVE-2026-10523, is an authentication bypass vulnerability with a CVSS score of 9.9 that allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to create arbitrary administrative accounts and obtain full administrative access. Ivanti has stated that they are not aware of any customers being exploited by either of these vulnerabilities at the time of disclosure. CVECVSSv3.1CWECVE-2026-1052010.0 (Critical)OS Command Injection (CWE-78)CVE-2026-105239.9 (Critical)Authentication Bypass Using an Alternate Path or Channel (CWE-288)On June 10, 2026, watchTowr published a technical analysis of CVE-2026-10520 that includes a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for unauthenticated RCE. Given the trivial nature of exploitation and the availability of a public PoC, exploitation in-the-wild is likely to begin. Ivanti Sentry has featured on the CISA KEV list twice in the past (for the vulnerabilities CVE-2023-38035 and CVE-2020-15505), so we know threat actors will likely target this product. Organizations running affected versions of Ivanti Sentry should remediate these issues on an urgent basis before exploitation in-the-wild begins.Technical overview for CVE-2026-10520Based upon the technical analysis by watchTowr, CVE-2026-10520 resides in the ConfigServiceController class within the Sentry web application, which is accessible via a POST request to the unauthenticated endpoint /mics/api/v2/sentry/mics-config/handleMessage.The handleMessage endpoint...
