CVE-2024-13180
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 · uneditedPath Traversal in Ivanti Avalanche before version 6.4.7 allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to leak sensitive information. This CVE addresses incomplete fixes from CVE-2024-47011.
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 Avalanche before 6.4.7 contains a path traversal vulnerability allowing remote unauthenticated attackers to escape the web root and access sensitive files on the underlying filesystem. This CVE represents incomplete remediation of CVE-2024-47011, indicating the original patch did not fully address the traversal vector.

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.
-
Check Ivanti Avalanche installed versionLocate the Ivanti Avalanche installation and determine the version number. This is typically accessible through the application itself, installer metadata, or system information files within the Avalanche program directory.Affected if The installed version is any release prior to 6.4.7 (e.g., 6.4.0, 6.4.5, 6.3.x, etc.)
-
Verify Avalanche web server is enabledConfirm that the Ivanti Avalanche web interface service is running. This vulnerability is exploitable through the web server component. Check if the Avalanche Wavelink service or equivalent web service process is active.Affected if The web server component is enabled and running, making the path traversal vector accessible to remote attackers
-
Assess network exposure of web interfaceDetermine if the Avalanche web interface is accessible from untrusted networks. Check firewall rules, network segmentation, and whether the web port (typically 80/443 or configured custom port) is exposed to the internet or untrusted internal segments.Affected if The web interface is reachable without authentication from external or untrusted networks, enabling remote unauthenticated path traversal exploitation
The environment is affected if Ivanti Avalanche is installed with a version lower than 6.4.7 and the web interface is network-accessible to unauthenticated users.

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.
