Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-10644 is a code injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-94, that affects Ivanti Connect Secure prior to version 22.7R2.4 and Ivanti Policy Secure prior to version 22.7R1.3. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.1 and permits an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code on the affected appliance.
A remote authenticated attacker who already possesses administrative privileges can exploit the issue over the network with low attack complexity to obtain remote code execution on the target system, resulting in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability within the security context of the appliance.
The February Security Advisory published by Ivanti addresses this and related CVEs and is available at the vendor forum link provided in the references.
EPSS for the vulnerability rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.2466 on 2025-12-11 before receding to the current value of 0.0398, indicating a period of increased exploitation interest after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.
Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.
Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.
Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).
PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.
Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
