Deeper analysis
This vulnerability is an unauthenticated SQL injection flaw, tracked as CWE-89, that affects Ivanti Avalanche version 6.3.2.3490. The issue resides in the ProfileDaoImpl class, where a crafted request can cause the application to construct and execute SQL queries directly from attacker-supplied input, enabling authentication bypass on the server.
Remote attackers can exploit the flaw over the network without any credentials or user interaction. Successful exploitation grants the ability to bypass authentication controls entirely, which under the CVSS 9.8 rating can lead to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the affected system.
The referenced Zero Day Initiative advisory ZDI-22-780 and Ivanti Avalanche 6.3.4 release notes indicate that the vendor addressed the issue in the 6.3.4 update. The EPSS score has remained at 0.3091 with no material increase after disclosure.
