Description
CISA calls it an SQL injection in Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA). In its words: “Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) contains a SQL injection vulnerability in the admin web console in versions prior to 5.0.2, which can allow a remote attacker authenticated as administrator to run arbitrary SQL statements.”[1]
The underlying weakness is SQL injection (CWE-89), in MITRE’s list of common software weaknesses.[2]
It scores 7.2 out of 10 on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System, which rates it high, scored by NVD using CVSS 3.1.[2]
Affected versions
NVD’s record doesn’t list version ranges for it; Ivanti’s advisory has them[3]. CISA names the product as Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA).
Most families won’t have Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA); it’s for whoever looks after IT at work.
Exploitation
CISA added it to its catalog of known exploited vulnerabilities on 9 Oct 2024, within a day of it being made public. CISA lists a flaw only when it has reliable evidence of it being exploited, and gave US federal agencies until 30 Oct 2024 to fix it.[1]
FIRST’s Exploit Prediction Scoring System, which estimates how likely a flaw is to be used in attacks in the next 30 days from what it sees across the internet, puts it at 44%. That’s in the top 2% of the flaws it scores.[4]
CISA assesses it as not automatable: each attack takes some work.
CISA doesn’t say who was attacked, or how.
Fix
Ivanti has published a fix or advice.[3] CISA’s required action: “As Ivanti CSA 4.6.x has reached End-of-Life status, users are urged to remove CSA 4.6.x from service or upgrade to the 5.0.x line, or later, of supported solution.”[1]
- Check whether you use it.Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) is business software or equipment, so most families won’t have it. If you run a business, or work from home on company equipment, ask whoever looks after your IT.
- Send this page to your IT person.Ask them to confirm it’s fixed, or not in use. CISA gave US government agencies until 30 Oct 2024 to fix it.
- If it can’t be fixed, take it offline.CISA’s advice when there’s no fix is to stop using the product, or take it off the internet, until there is one.
You can’t fix someone else’s server, but you can watch for what follows a break-in like this: a breach notice, a password reset you didn’t ask for, or a scam message that knows things it shouldn’t. HARD watches for those for you and your family.
