OS Command Injection RCE in Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance Admin Console
CISA: Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) OS Command Injection Vulnerability
CVE-2024-9380 is an OS command injection flaw (CWE-77/CWE-78) in the admin web console of Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA), fixed in version 5.0.2. A remote attacker who is already authenticated with administrative privileges can inject arbitrary operating system commands through the console, which the appliance then executes. Successful exploitation yields remote code execution with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 3.1: 7.2). All CSA releases before 5.0.2 are affected, and the widely deployed 4.6.x line has reached End-of-Life, so EOL users must remove it from service or move to 5.0.x or later. The flaw was added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2024-10-09, and contemporaneous reporting describes Chinese nation-state actors exploiting Ivanti CSA zero-days against French government and telecom targets, with a 63.2% EPSS probability of exploitation in the next 30 days (99th percentile).
What to do: Upgrade Ivanti CSA to 5.0.2 or later; if you are running the End-of-Life 4.6.x line, either remove it from service or migrate to the supported 5.0.x line, per CISA's KEV required action. Restrict exposure of the admin web console (do not leave it directly internet-facing) and verify whether your appliance was targeted. Given reported nation-state exploitation of CSA zero-days, review appliance logs and admin credentials for signs of compromise.
| Product | Affected |
|---|---|
| Ivanti Endpoint Manager Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) | all versions before 5.0.2, including the End-of-Life 4.6.x line |
Order-of-magnitude estimate by the model from install counts, market share and public scan data it knows; verify before quoting.
An OS command injection vulnerability in the admin web console of Ivanti CSA before version 5.0.2 allows a remote authenticated attacker with admin privileges to obtain remote code execution.
