CVE-2024-11598
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 · uneditedUnder specific circumstances, insecure permissions in Ivanti Application Control before version 2024.3 HF1, 2024.1 HF2, or 2023.3 HF3 allows a local authenticated attacker to achieve local privilege escalation.
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 confidenceIvanti Application Control contains insecure file or service permissions that allow a local authenticated attacker to elevate privileges to administrator or SYSTEM level. The vulnerability stems from improper permission assignments on critical system resources controlled by the application.

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.
-
Verify Ivanti Application Control is installedCheck for Ivanti Application Control in Programs and Features (Windows Add/Remove Programs) or look for the application in C:\Program Files\Ivanti or C:\Program Files (x86)\IvantiAffected if The application is installed and visible in these locations
-
Identify installed versionOpen Programs and Features, locate Ivanti Application Control, and note the version number displayed in the Version column, or right-click the application executable and view Properties > Details for version infoAffected if Version displayed is 2023.3, 2024.1, 2024.3, or any version <= 2023.3
-
Confirm vulnerability is exploitableThis is a local privilege escalation via improper permissions - the vulnerability requires the attacker to have authenticated local access to the machine where the application is installedAffected if The application runs on a system where untrusted local users have account access
If Ivanti Application Control version 2023.3, 2024.1, 2024.3, or <= 2023.3 is installed and the system permits local authenticated users to interact with the application, the environment is likely affected by CVE-2024-11598.

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.
dbcve · scopedApply the appropriate hotfix: upgrade to Ivanti Application Control 2024.3 HF1, 2024.1 HF2, or 2023.3 HF3 (or later) to remediate the insecure permissions vulnerability.
2024.3 HF1 (or 2024.1 HF2 or 2023.3 HF3 depending on starting version)
- 1. Identify the current version of Ivanti Application Control by checking the installed software or system information
- 2. Based on your current version, determine the appropriate hotfix target: if currently on 2023.3 or lower, upgrade to 2023.3 HF3; if on 2024.1, upgrade to 2024.1 HF2; if on 2024.3, upgrade to 2024.3 HF1
- 3. Obtain the appropriate hotfix from Ivanti support portal (support.ivanti.com) or authorized distribution channels
- 4. Follow Ivanti's standard hotfix deployment procedure, which typically involves stopping related services, applying the hotfix, and restarting services
- 5. Verify the installation was successful and confirm the new version number matches the expected hotfix version
