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-2024-11772 is a command injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-77, that affects the admin web console of Ivanti Cloud Services Application (CSA) prior to version 5.0.3. The flaw received a CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.1, reflecting network-accessible attack vectors that require administrative credentials but impose no user interaction or scope restrictions beyond the compromised component.
A remote authenticated attacker holding admin privileges can supply crafted input through the web console to execute arbitrary operating-system commands on the underlying host, resulting in full remote code execution with the ability to read, modify, or delete data and potentially pivot further within the environment.
The EPSS score for this CVE rose from low values to a peak of 0.1513 on 2026-03-04 before receding to the current level of 0.0978, indicating a measurable increase in observed exploitation interest after public disclosure. The vendor has published a security advisory covering this issue together with related CVEs at the referenced Ivanti forum URL.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover command-construction flaws before deployment.
Input validation directly stops construction of commands from untrusted data containing special elements.
Secure engineering principles include proper neutralization and safe command construction practices.
Mitigating Controls (ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Annex A) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
A.8.25 mandates secure SDLC practices including secure coding guidelines, security requirements, checkpoints, testing (scans/penetration), and developer training that reduce command injection defects, but leaves a minority slice (e.g. incomplete implementation of those practices, outsourced development without full assurance, or post-SDLC changes) where the weakness can still arise and be exploitable.
Application security requirements explicitly call for controls against injection flaws including command injection.
A.8.27 mandates security-by-design principles (e.g. distrust external input, secure session control, data validation/sanitization, least privilege) and design reviews that can stop command injection from being introduced, but this is only a minority slice of CWE-77 because the weakness can still arise in code that bypasses those principles, in non-reviewed components, or in runtime injection vectors the architecture review does not reach.
Secure coding standards require proper escaping and parameterization of commands, directly eliminating CWE-77.
Security testing in development catches command-injection vulnerabilities before release.
Hardening callouts derived
DISA STIG baselines are authored against specific weaknesses. Where this CVE cites a broad weakness class, the mapping is not asserted at that abstraction (owner ruling, 2026-09-25: grade only at Base and below), so no rule is shown here rather than a rule shown against the wrong grain.
- No fine-grained STIG row for CWE-77, a class-level weakness, and none of its children carries one either.
