Summary

CVE-2024-8963 is a critical path traversal vulnerability in Ivanti CSA that allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to access restricted functionality. This issue affects Ivanti CSA version 4.6 before Patch 519 and can be chained with a separate command injection flaw to execute commands with admin privileges. Ivanti has released a fix for this vulnerability and has issued an advisory urging customers to apply the patch as soon as possible. The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added this vulnerability to its Known Exploited Vulnerability (KEV) catalog, and they are instructing federal agencies to address it by October 10. There is an unspecified number of known exploits but no information on known exploitation by ransomware groups. This vulnerability is part of a larger trend of path traversal flaws affecting IT vendors and underscores the critical need for secure-by-design development practices in the software industry.

CISA Reported

CISA provides regional cyber and physical services to support security and resilience across the United States. CISA monitor the most dangerious vulnerabilities and have identifed as being exploited but is not known by the CISA to be used in ransomware campaigns. This is subject to change at pace as recent news articles suggest the vulnerability is being used by ransomware groups.

The CISA's recommendation is: 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.
