Dive Insight:
Ivanti said it already observed exploitation of CSA 4.6 in a limited set of customers when CVE-2024-9379 or CVE-2024-9380 are chained together with CVE-2024-8963.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on Wednesday added CVE-2024-9379 and CVE-2024-9380 to its known exploited vulnerabilities catalog. Six Ivanti CVEs have been added to the KEV catalog since Sept. 13.
CSA 4.6 has reached end-of-life status and is no longer supported by the company. The last security fix for the product was issued on Sept. 10. The company is urging customers to upgrade to CSA 5.0.2.
The vulnerabilities include the following:
- CVE-2024-9379, with a CVSS score of 6.5, is a SQL injection vulnerability in the admin web console of Ivanti CSA. A remote authenticated attacker with admin privileges can run arbitrary SQL statements.
- CVE-2024-9380, with a CVSS score of 7.2, is an OS command injection vulnerability. A remote authenticated attacker with admin privileges can obtain remote code execution.
- CVE-2024-9381, with a CVSS score of 7.2, is a path traversal vulnerability that allows a remote authenticated attacker with admin privileges to bypass restrictions.
The company and its customers are dealing with widespread exploitation and CVE disclosures in a series of products dating back to mid September.
Last week, the company warned about active exploitation of a critical vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager.
Ivanti, in a security advisory released Tuesday, acknowledged that it promised earlier this year to overhaul its internal processes in order to make more secure products.
“In recent months, we have intensified our internal scanning, manual exploitation and testing capabilities, and have additionally made improvements to our responsible disclosure process so we can promptly discover and address potential issues,” the company said in the blog post
