CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-11005 is a critical-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Ivanti Connect Secure. Its CVSS base score is 9.1 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique NTDS (T1003.003); ranked in the top 24% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2024-11005 is a command injection vulnerability, tracked as CWE-78, that affects Ivanti Connect Secure prior to version 22.7R2.1 and Ivanti Policy Secure prior to version 22.7R1.1, with the 9.1Rx branches explicitly excluded. The flaw received a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.1 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, high privileges required, and critical impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability with scope change.
A remote authenticated attacker holding administrative privileges can supply crafted input to trigger command injection, enabling remote code execution on the affected appliance.
The Ivanti security advisory at the referenced URL addresses this issue alongside related CVEs and directs administrators to apply the fixed releases 22.7R2.1 for Connect Secure and 22.7R1.1 for Policy Secure.
The associated EPSS score reached a peak of 0.2793 on 2026-02-11 before receding to its current value of 0.2217.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.
Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.
Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.
Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.
Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.
Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
