Threat & Defense at a Glance

What attackers do: exploitation maps to Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190) and 1 other technique. What defenders deploy: see the NIST 800-53 controls recommended below.

Threat & Defense Details

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match

prevent

Directly mitigates OS command injection by requiring validation and sanitization of inputs to the admin web console to block arbitrary command execution.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match

prevent

Ensures timely remediation of the specific command injection flaw through patching to Ivanti CSA version 5.0.5 or later as per the vendor advisory.

SI-9 Information Input Restrictions good match

prevent

Restricts insertion of unauthorized inputs such as shell metacharacters into the admin web console to prevent command injection exploits.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access

Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.

attack.mitre.org →

T1059.004 Unix Shell Execution

Adversaries may abuse Unix shell commands and scripts for execution.

attack.mitre.org →

Why these techniques?

OS command injection in admin web console directly enables T1190 (exploit of exposed application) and results in arbitrary Unix shell command execution (T1059.004).

Confidence: HIGH · MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise v18.1

NVD Description

OS command injection in the admin web console of Ivanti CSA before version 5.0.5 allows a remote authenticated attacker with admin privileges to achieve remote code execution.
