CVE-2024-8190
Overview
This vulnerability is an OS command injection flaw rooted in improper input validation within the Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance management interface. Specifically, the affected component fails to sanitize administrator-supplied input before executing system-level commands, allowing injection of arbitrary OS commands. The issue exists in versions 4.6 Patch 518 and earlier of the appliance software, where privileged administrative functions process user input insecurely.
Vulnerability Description
An OS command injection vulnerability in Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance versions 4.6 Patch 518 and before allows a remote authenticated attacker to obtain remote code execution. The attacker must have admin level privileges to exploit this vulnerability.
Impact
An attacker with administrative credentials can execute arbitrary operating system commands on the appliance, leading to full compromise of the system. This can result in unauthorized data access, manipulation of appliance configurations, or deployment of persistent malicious payloads. Exploitation requires valid admin-level authentication, thus limiting attack vectors to insiders or credential-compromised users. Successful exploitation undermines the integrity and availability of the cloud services managed by the appliance.
Solution
Ivanti recommends upgrading Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance to versions later than 4.6 Patch 518 as detailed in their security advisory available at https://forums.ivanti.com/s/article/Security-Advisory-Ivanti-Cloud-Service-Appliance-CSA-CVE-2024-8190. Administrators should apply the latest patches provided by Ivanti and follow the vendor’s instructions to ensure the vulnerability is fully mitigated. No alternative workarounds are specified in the advisory.
