CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HSummary
CVE-2024-50322 is a high-severity Path Traversal (CWE-22) vulnerability in Ivanti Endpoint Manager. Its CVSS base score is 7.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 7% 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-2024-50322 is a path traversal vulnerability, tracked under CWE-22, that affects Ivanti Endpoint Manager versions prior to the 2024 November Security Update and the 2022 SU6 November Security Update. The flaw carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.8 and permits unauthorized access to file system paths on the affected host.
A local unauthenticated attacker can exploit the issue to achieve code execution, although successful exploitation requires user interaction. The attack vector is local with low complexity and no privileges needed, resulting in high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
The vendor has published a security advisory that directs customers to apply the November 2024 updates for both the 2024 and 2022 releases of Endpoint Manager; the advisory is available at the Ivanti forums link referenced in the CVE record.
The associated EPSS score currently stands at 0.1148 with a recorded peak of 0.1437, indicating moderate and relatively stable exploitation probability since disclosure.

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.

Security testing in development catches path traversal via static/dynamic analysis.
Secure SDLC mandates input validation and path sanitization that directly prevent path traversal.
Application security requirements include rules for safe file handling and canonicalization.
Secure architecture principles require least-privilege file access and directory isolation.
Secure coding standards explicitly forbid unsafe path construction and mandate safe APIs.
Information access restriction limits which files an application may read or write.
