Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) Path Traversal Vulnerability (CVE-2024-8963)
Severity: critical · Patch status: unpatched · Since 2024-09-19 · CVE-2024-8963
Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) contains a path traversal vulnerability that could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to access restricted functionality. If CVE-2024-8963 is used in conjunction with CVE-2024-8190, an attacker could bypass admin authentication and execute arbitrary commands on the appliance. CISA added CVE-2024-8963 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on Sep 19, 2024, which means attackers are exploiting it in the wild.
What to do
- As Ivanti CSA has reached End-of-Life status, users are urged to remove CSA 4.6.x from service or upgrade to the 5.0.x line of supported solutions, as future vulnerabilities on the 4.6.x version of CSA are unlikely to receive security updates.
- US federal agencies must remediate by Oct 10, 2024 (BOD 22-01); treat that as the outer limit.
