Path Traversal in Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance
CVE-2024-8963 is a critical path traversal vulnerability in Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) 4.6 before Patch 519. The issue is exploitable remotely and without authentication, allowing an attacker to traverse paths and access files and restricted appliance functionality that should not be exposed to unauthenticated users. Ivanti’s description states that the flaw allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to access restricted functionality, and multiple supporting reports characterize the issue as enabling administrator authentication bypass or access to administrative rights. The vulnerability has also been reported as chainable with CVE-2024-8190, where CVE-2024-8963 provides the unauthorized access/authentication bypass needed to reach functionality that can then be leveraged for arbitrary command execution.
