CVE-2024-11004
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 · uneditedReflected XSS in Ivanti Connect Secure before version 22.7R2.1 and Ivanti Policy Secure before version 22.7R1.1 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to obtain admin privileges. User interaction is required.
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 confidenceA reflected XSS vulnerability exists in the web interface of Ivanti Connect Secure (before 22.7R2.1) and Ivanti Policy Secure (before 22.7R1.1). An unauthenticated attacker can craft malicious URLs that, when clicked by an authenticated administrator, execute arbitrary JavaScript in the admin session context, enabling privilege escalation to full admin access.

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 the Ivanti productLog into the admin web interface and locate the product name, typically shown on the login page or in the header/sidebar. Alternatively, access the CLI and run a version or system info command.Affected if The product is either Ivanti Connect Secure or Ivanti Policy Secure.
-
Locate the version number in the admin interfaceIn the web admin console, navigate to System Configuration, System Management, or Device Details (path varies by version). Look for a field labeled Version, Firmware Version, or Build Number.Affected if Any version is displayed.
-
Compare your version against the affected rangesNote the exact version number displayed (e.g., 22.7, 22.6, 9.x). For Connect Secure, you are affected if the version is 22.7 or lower. For Policy Secure, you are affected if the version is 22.7 or lower.Affected if The installed version is 22.7 or any version below 22.7 for either product.
-
Confirm the build or patch level (if visible)Check if the version includes additional build identifiers such as R2.1 or R1.1. These appear after the base version number in the admin interface.Affected if The version shows 22.7R2.0 or earlier for Connect Secure, or 22.7R1.0 or earlier for Policy Secure.
You are affected if your Ivanti Connect Secure is version 22.7R2.0 or earlier, or your Ivanti Policy Secure is version 22.7R1.0 or earlier.
