Ivanti Sentry pre-authenticated OS command injection: CVE-2026-10520

The post analyzes CVE-2026-10520, a pre-authenticated OS command injection vulnerability in Ivanti Sentry / MobileIron Sentry before R10.5.2, R10.6.2, and R10.7.1. Ivanti described the impact as allowing a remote unauthenticated attacker to achieve root-level remote code execution, with a CVSS score of 10.0.

Ivanti also disclosed CVE-2026-10523, an Auth...

🔧 Technical Details

Patch diffing to find exposed execution sinks: Compare vulnerable and patched appliance packages, especially WAR/JAR files, to identify changed controller logic. In this case, diffing mics.war showed that only mics-core-10.5.1-R10.5.1.jar changed to mics-core-10.5.2-R10.5.2.jar. The changed code was in mics-core/com/mi/middleware/rest/controller/ConfigServiceController.java. Reconstructing the route from the Tomcat context /mics, the Spring controller mapping /api/v2/sentry/mics-config, and the method mapping /handleMessage produced the attack surface: /mics/api/v2/sentry/mics-config/handleMessage.

Abusing exposed configuration command parsers: If an unauthenticated web endpoint accepts a raw string and passes it into an internal configuration service, treat that string as a possible DSL or command language. Here, message is tokenized into co...

Updated

  • src/pentesting-web/command-injection.md

What I added

A new section covering the reusable technique behind the Ivanti Sentry bug:

  • exposed configuration command parsers / internal command DSLs
  • how to patch-diff WAR/JARs to recover hidden execution routes
  • how to identify command/module/xpath/value parsers
  • how patched hardcoded constants can reveal exploit grammar
  • a concise Ivanti Sentry payload shape example
  • quick triage notes on 302/auth-gate behavior and reflection-backed execution bridges

Why this location

I chose the existing Command Injection page instead of creating a new Ivanti-specific page, because the useful addition is the general technique: HTTP-exposed internal config-command execution leading to OS command execution.

Validation

  • Reviewed diff: only one file changed.
  • Tried mdbook build, but mdbook is not installed in this environment (mdbook: command not found).
