CVE-2019-11510
Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Read in Ivanti Pulse Connect Secure VPN

Ivanti Pulse Connect Secure, an enterprise SSL VPN appliance, contains an arbitrary file read vulnerability (CWE-22, path traversal) that requires no authentication. An unauthenticated remote attacker with network access to the appliance over HTTPS can send a specially crafted URI containing traversal sequences to read arbitrary files from the device. The attacker gains access to sensitive appliance files, potentially including configuration or credential material useful for further compromise, and CISA records known ransomware use of this flaw. Any organization running Pulse Connect Secure, especially gateways exposed to the internet for remote access, is affected. Exploitation is established: CISA added the flaw to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog on 2021-11-03 with known ransomware use, EPSS assigns a 100% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, and no public PoC is known.

Do: Apply updates per Ivanti's instructions, the required action in the CISA KEV entry, prioritizing internet-facing Pulse Connect Secure gateways, and consult the vendor advisory for the applicable fixed release since no version range is provided here. Where patching is not immediate, restrict HTTPS access to the appliance and hunt for signs of exploitation (unexpected file reads, anomalous VPN logins or sessions, and follow-on ransomware activity), as CISA reports known ransomware use.

Since 2019, Sodinokibi ransomware operators have been publishing data stolen from the victims on leak sites in the attempt to force the victims into paying the ransom.

Now Sodinokibi ransomware operators posted images of SeaChange’s data on the leak site, they have created a page to the company containing images of allegedly stolen documents.

These images include a screenshot of folders on a SeaChange server compromised by the gang, insurance certificates, a driver’s license, and a cover letter for a proposal sent to the Pentagon.

At the time it is not clear the amount of the ransom the gang has requested to the company.

Recently the crew behind the Sodinokibi Ransomware has started accepting the Monero cryptocurrency instead of Bitcoin to make it harder investigation by law enforcement agencies.

The gang is planning to doesn’t allow bitcoin payments in the future.

The use of the Tor anonymized network to make Monero payments makes it impossible to trace the funds and attempt to de-anonymize the threat actors behind the campaign.

Sodinokibi operators announced that they will remove Bitcoin as an accepted payment method.
