CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-13180 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Ivanti Avalanche. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Data Obfuscation (T1001); ranked in the top 2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) 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-2024-13180 is a path traversal vulnerability, tracked as CWE-22, that affects Ivanti Avalanche prior to version 6.4.7. The flaw permits disclosure of sensitive information and is described as addressing incomplete remediation from the earlier CVE-2024-47011. It carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 reflecting network attack vector, low complexity, and high confidentiality impact without requiring authentication or user interaction.
A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit the issue over the network to read arbitrary files and thereby leak sensitive data from the affected Avalanche deployment. The attack requires no privileges or user interaction, making it accessible to any party able to reach the service.
The referenced Ivanti security advisory for Avalanche 6.4.7 addresses this and related CVEs through the release of the fixed version. The associated EPSS score has remained in the moderate range with a current value of 0.3612 and a recorded peak of 0.3910.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Enforces the intended directory access authorizations that path traversal would otherwise bypass.
Input validation directly neutralizes special path elements before pathname construction occurs.
Least privilege reduces the impact of any unauthorized file access obtained via traversal.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Patching/maintenance can remediate known path-traversal flaws in deployed software (partial prevention of exploitability) but does nothing to stop the coding defect from being introduced in the first place.
PR.AA-05 defines and reviews access policies but does not address code-level pathname neutralization, so neither direction prevents CWE-22.
