CVE-2024-8963

What the flaw is

Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) contains a path traversal vulnerability that could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to access restricted functionality. If CVE-2024-8963 is used in conjunction with CVE-2024-8190, an attacker could bypass admin authentication and execute arbitrary commands on the appliance.

Description as published by CISA. We have not independently reproduced it.

What CISA requires

As Ivanti CSA 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 of supported solutions, as future vulnerabilities on the 4.6.x version of CSA are unlikely to receive security updates.

This deadline is binding on US federal civilian agencies under BOD 22-01. It is not a legal deadline for anyone else, but it is a useful urgency signal — CISA sets it by how actively the flaw is being used, not by CVSS.

Public exploit code

We hold no public exploit references for this CVE. That means our dataset has none — it is not evidence that no exploit exists. CISA has confirmed this vulnerability is being exploited in the wild regardless.
