Ivanti Connect Secure is a widely used VPN solution that provides secure remote access to enterprise networks. It is designed for organizations that require robust security features, including multi-factor authentication and endpoint compliance checking. The software is utilized by businesses, government agencies, and educational institutions to ensure secure connectivity. Ivanti Policy Secure and Ivanti Neurons for ZTA gateways are also part of the Ivanti suite, offering zero-trust security measures. These products are crucial for protecting sensitive data and ensuring seamless network access. Many enterprises depend on Ivanti products for secure, scalable remote access solutions.
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Ivanti Connect Secure before version 22.7R2.5, Ivanti Policy Secure before 22.7R1.2, and Ivanti Neurons for ZTA gateways before version 22.7R2.3. This issue arises due to improper handling of user input, leading to memory corruption. A remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code. Buffer overflow vulnerabilities can be used to overwrite critical memory regions, leading to potential system compromise. Attackers leveraging this vulnerability may gain control over affected devices. This makes it a high-risk issue that requires immediate attention and patching.
The vulnerability stems from improper input validation within the Ivanti software, allowing an attacker to send crafted requests that trigger a buffer overflow. The overflow occurs in the authentication interface, particularly in the `welcome.cgi` endpoint. By manipulating specific parameters, an attacker can overwrite memory buffers, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution. A successful exploit may allow attackers to bypass authentication and gain unauthorized access. This can be achieved without requiring prior credentials, making the vulnerability particularly severe. The presence of this flaw in enterprise VPN solutions poses a significant security risk.
When exploited, this vulnerability can lead to remote code execution, enabling attackers to take full control of affected systems. It can be used to install malware, steal sensitive data, or move laterally within a network. Organizations relying on Ivanti Connect Secure for remote access may face significant disruptions if an attacker exploits this flaw. The vulnerability also increases the risk of ransomware attacks and espionage activities. Attackers could use compromised devices as entry points to launch further attacks. Organizations must address this issue promptly to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches.
