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.
