Deeper analysis

The vulnerability CVE-2024-11006 is a command injection issue, tracked as CWE-78, that affects Ivanti Connect Secure before version 22.7R2.1 and Ivanti Policy Secure before version 22.7R1.1, with the 9.1Rx branches explicitly excluded. The flaw permits improper neutralization of special elements used in OS commands, leading to arbitrary command execution on the underlying system.

A remote authenticated attacker with administrative privileges can exploit the weakness over the network with low attack complexity to obtain remote code execution, resulting in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability as reflected in the CVSS 9.1 score.

The referenced Ivanti security advisory addresses this CVE alongside related issues 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 rose from lower values after disclosure to a peak of 0.2793 before receding to the current level of 0.2217.
