CVE-2023-46262
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAn unauthenticated attacked could send a specifically crafted web request causing a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in Ivanti Avalanche Remote Control server.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceAn unauthenticated attacker can send a specifically crafted web request to the Ivanti Avalanche Remote Control server, causing it to make arbitrary network requests to internal or external resources (Server-Side Request Forgery). This can lead to exposure of internal services, data exfiltration, or further infrastructure compromise.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Ivanti Avalanche is installedCheck for Ivanti Avalanche services or installed programs on the system. Look for 'Avalanche' or 'Ivanti' in installed applications, services, or program directories.Affected if Ivanti Avalanche software is present on the system
-
Determine the installed Ivanti Avalanche versionLocate the version information for Ivanti Avalanche. This is typically found in the application itself, in installed program details, or in configuration files. Compare your version against the affected range: any version <= 6.4.1.Affected if The installed version is 6.4.1 or any earlier version
-
Verify if Remote Control server component is enabledCheck the Ivanti Avalanche configuration to determine if the Remote Control server feature is enabled and running. This is typically managed through the Avalanche administration console or service configuration.Affected if Remote Control server component is enabled and actively running
-
Assess network exposure of the Avalanche web interfaceDetermine if the Ivanti Avalanche web server (Remote Control interface) is accessible from untrusted networks. Check firewall rules, network ACLs, and binding addresses to see if the service is exposed to the internet or untrusted internal segments.Affected if The web interface is accessible from outside the trusted network without proper access controls
You are affected if Ivanti Avalanche with Remote Control server enabled is installed and the version is 6.4.1 or lower, especially if the web interface is network-accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply the vendor-supplied patch or update to Ivanti Avalanche Remote Control server. If no patch is available, restrict network access to the server and implement strict input validation on web request parameters.
