01

What, why and how

Incorrect file permissions in Ivanti Connect Secure before version 22.6R2 (Not Applicable to 9.1Rx) and Ivanti Policy Secure before version 22.7R1 (Not Applicable to 9.1Rx) allow a local authenticated attacker to escalate their privileges.

What

Incorrect file permissions in Ivanti Connect Secure before version 22.6R2 (Not Applicable to 9.1Rx) and Ivanti Policy Secure before version 22.7R1 (Not Applicable to 9.1Rx) allow a local authenticated attacker to escalate their privileges.

Why

The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors.

How

An attacker operating through local access may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

02

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
None recorded

No exploit-tagged reference or CISA SSVC proof-of-concept state is currently recorded. Research may still exist outside the structured feeds.

Likely attack path
local access → Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor
Attack surface
Local
Privileges required
Low: a basic authenticated account is required
User interaction

Attack complexity
Low: no specialised conditions are recorded
Security boundary
Unchanged: impact remains within the vulnerable component's security authority
Weakness
?CWE means Common Weakness Enumeration: a standard category for the underlying weakness.
CWE-732 ↗

CWE-732: Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource. The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.
CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Common Vulnerability Scoring System 3.1: the compact vector below is decoded into plain language.

AVLocalAttack vector: The attacker needs local access to the vulnerable system.ACLowAttack complexity: No specialised conditions are required beyond attacker-controlled input.PRLowPrivileges required: The attacker needs basic user-level privileges.UINoneUser interaction: No action by another user is required.SUnchangedScope: The security impact remains within the vulnerable component's authority.CHighConfidentiality impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.IHighIntegrity impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.AHighAvailability impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.
Post-exploitation / living off the land
The issue can support a local privilege or sandbox boundary transition; normal system utilities may then be available in the gained context.

Official advisory ↗
NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2024-0442Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Ivanti Connect Secure en Policy Secure

Een kwaadwillende kan de kwetsbaarheden misbruiken om aanvallen uit te voeren die kunnen leiden tot de volgende categorieën schade: * Denial-of-Service (DoS) * Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) * Verhoogde gebruikersrechten * (Remote) code execution (Gebruikersrechten) Om code executie te verkrijgen is voorafgaande authenticatie met admin rechten vereist. Kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2024-11004 kan echter misbruikt worden om op afstand zonder authenticatie admin rechten te verkrijgen. Hiervoor moet een gebruiker wel met admin rechten verleid worden om een malafide webpagina te openen.
