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

CVE-2024-47908 is an OS command injection vulnerability, tracked under CWE-78, that affects the admin web console of Ivanti Cloud Services Application (CSA) versions prior to 5.0.5. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.1 and permits remote code execution when triggered through the console interface.

A remote attacker who already possesses valid administrative credentials can exploit the injection point over the network to run arbitrary operating-system commands on the affected CSA instance, resulting in full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability within the product’s security context.

An official Ivanti security advisory addressing CVE-2024-47908 (along with a related issue) is published at the referenced Ivanti forums URL and provides guidance for customers. The associated EPSS score reached a peak of 0.5365 on 2026-05-24 before receding to its current value of 0.4210, indicating a period of elevated exploitation interest after disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.

Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.

Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.

Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.

Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.

PR.PS-02 partial match
prevents

Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
