A critical vulnerability (CVE-2024-8190) in Ivanti’s Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) has been actively exploited by malicious actors. This vulnerability allows attackers to gain unauthorized access and control of affected systems via OS command injection. The flaw specifically impacts older versions of CSA, including 4.6 (all versions before patch 519). The use of older versions of products can cause a lot of problems, as attackers can utilize old exploits against vulnerable products and systems. The urgency of this situation highlights the need for organizations to update their CSA software to the latest patched version or, if they have versions older than CSA 5.0, to consider adopting a newer product which has been properly secured. CISA advises that affected users immediately upgrade to CSA version 5.0, or a newer version.
A critical vulnerability, CVE-2024-8963, affecting Ivanti’s Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) is under active exploitation by threat actors. This path traversal flaw allows remote attackers to bypass administrative controls and access restricted functionality, potentially leading to unauthorized access and arbitrary command execution. This vulnerability is chainable with a previously disclosed command injection vulnerability, CVE-2024-8190, which also allows attackers to bypass authentication and execute commands on the appliance, emphasizing the urgency of patching.
