Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2024-11633 is an argument injection vulnerability, tracked as CWE-88, that affects Ivanti Connect Secure prior to version 22.7R2.4. The flaw received a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, high-privileged authentication requirements, and impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability in a changed scope.

A remote authenticated attacker holding administrative privileges can supply crafted arguments to the affected component and obtain remote code execution on the target appliance.

The vendor advisory published in December 2024 directs customers to upgrade Ivanti Connect Secure (and the related Policy Secure product) to 22.7R2.4 or later to remediate the issue. The EPSS score reached a peak of 0.1922 with a current value of 0.1269.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SA-11 Developer Testing and Evaluation good match

Developer testing can discover argument-injection flaws in command-construction code but does not stop their introduction.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

Input validation directly stops construction of command strings containing unneutralized delimiters or injected arguments.
