Enterprise Security / Malware
A recently patched duo of security vulnerabilities in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile (EPMM) software has been exploited by a China-linked threat actor to target various sectors across Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region. The vulnerabilities, identified as CVE-2025-4427 (CVSS score: 5.3) and CVE-2025-4428 (CVSS score: 7.2), can be combined to run arbitrary code on vulnerable devices without needing any authentication. Ivanti addressed these flaws just last week. According to a report from EclecticIQ, the vulnerability chain has been misused by UNC5221, a Chinese cyber espionage group known for targeting edge network devices since at least 2023. Most recently, this group has also been linked to exploitation attempts on SAP NetWeaver instances affected by CVE-2025-31324. The Dutch cybersecurity firm noted that the first exploitation activities began on May 15, 2025, with attacks focused on healthcare, telecommunications, and aviation sectors.
