01

What, why and how

Insufficient server-side controls in Secure Application Manager of Ivanti Connect Secure before version 22.7R2.4 allows a remote authenticated attacker to bypass restrictions.

What

Insufficient server-side controls in Secure Application Manager of Ivanti Connect Secure before version 22.7R2.4 allows a remote authenticated attacker to bypass restrictions.

Why

The product is composed of a server that relies on the client to implement a mechanism that is intended to protect the server.

How

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

How

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
a network path → Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security → cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor

CWE-602 ↗

CWE-602: Client-Side Enforcement of Server-Side Security. The product is composed of a server that relies on the client to implement a mechanism that is intended to protect the server.

CVSS vector
?CVSS means Common Vulnerability Scoring System. The vector records the metric values used to calculate technical severity.

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

AVNetworkAttack vector: The vulnerable component can be reached over a network.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.CLowConfidentiality impact: A successful attack can cause a limited loss.IHighIntegrity impact: A successful attack can cause a major loss.ANoneAvailability impact: No direct loss is represented by this metric.
Post-exploitation / living off the land
No specific living-off-the-land technique is confirmed in the structured sources. Monitor normal administration tools for activity inconsistent with the affected service's baseline.

NCSC-NL · Dutch · NCSC-2024-0484Kwetsbaarheden verholpen in Ivanti Connect Secure en Policy Secure

De kwetsbaarheden bevinden zich in de Secure Application Manager component en de IPSEC-component van Ivanti Connect Secure en Policy Secure en omvatten onvoldoende server-side controles. Deze kwetsbaarheden kunnen worden misbruikt door kwaadwillenden om beveiligingsrestricties te omzeilen en ongeautoriseerde controle over de systemen te verkrijgen of een Denial-of-Service te veroorzaken. Dit kan leiden tot een inbreuk op de beveiligingsarchitectuur van de getroffen organisaties. De kwetsbaarheden bevinden zich (m.u.v. CVE-2024-11634) ook in de systeemversie 9.x. Deze is echter sinds juni 2024 End-of-Engineering en zal per 31 december 2024 End-of-Life gaan, waardoor deze géén updates zal ontvangen om deze kwetsbaarheden te verhelpen. De kwetsbaarheden met kenmerk CVE-2024-37377 en CVE-2024-37401 bevinden zich in de IPSEC-functionaliteit en zijn op afstand te misbruiken zonder voorafgaande authenticatie. Succesvol misbruik leidt tot een Denial-of-Service (DoS). De kwetsbaarheid met kenmerk CVE-2024-9844 bevindt zich in de Secure Application Manager en vereist voorafgaande authenticatie. De kwetsbaarheden met kenmerk CVE-2024-11633 en CVE-2024-11634 vereisen voorafgaande authenticatie met Admin-rechten. Misbruik van deze kwetsbaarheden stelt een kwaadwillende in staat om willekeurige code uit te voeren op het kwetsbare systeem. Uit betrouwbare bron ontvangt het NCSC signalen dat de kwetsbaarheden beperkt zijn misbruikt. Er is geen publiek beschikbare Proof-of-Concept (PoC) of exploitcode beschikbaar. Het is mogelijk dat deze wel op korte termijn beschikbaar komt, waarmee de kans op grootschalig misbruik toeneemt.
