CVE-2024-37373
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 · uneditedImproper input validation in the Central Filestore in Ivanti Avalanche 6.3.1 allows a remote authenticated attacker with admin rights to achieve RCE.
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 confidenceImproper input validation in the Central Filestore component of Ivanti Avalanche 6.3.1 allows an authenticated attacker with admin privileges to execute arbitrary code remotely by injecting malicious input that is not properly validated before processing.

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 installed Ivanti Avalanche versionAccess the Ivanti Avalanche administration console or system information to determine the exact version number of the installed softwareAffected if The installed version matches any of: 6.3.1, 6.3.1.1507, 6.3.2, 6.3.2.3490, 6.3.3, 6.3.3.101, 6.3.4, 6.3.4.153, 6.4.0, 6.4.1, 6.4.1.207, 6.4.1.236
-
Verify Central Filestore component is enabledIn the Ivanti Avalanche administration interface, locate the Central Filestore component configuration and confirm whether it is active or enabledAffected if Central Filestore component is enabled on a vulnerable version
-
Review admin user accountsAccess the user management section of the administration console to enumerate all accounts with admin privilegesAffected if Admin accounts exist in the system, as the vulnerability requires an authenticated attacker with admin privileges
-
Audit admin session logsReview authentication and session logs for admin users, looking for unexpected session times, source IP addresses, or other anomalous patternsAffected if Suspicious or unrecognized admin sessions are present in the logs
The environment is affected if Ivanti Avalanche version matches the affected list and the Central Filestore component is enabled, allowing an authenticated admin attacker to inject malicious input.

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 vendor patch for CVE-2024-37373 to Ivanti Avalanche 6.3.1; limit admin access to trusted users and monitor for suspicious admin sessions.
Upgrade to a version newer than 6.3.2 (check Ivanti support for the exact fixed release)
- 1. Review the Ivanti Avalanche release notes and security advisories on forums.ivanti.com for the specific fixed version addressing CVE-2024-37373
