CVE-2024-39710
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 · uneditedArgument injection in Ivanti Connect Secure before version 22.7R2.1 and 9.1R18.7 and Ivanti Policy Secure before version 22.7R1.1 allows a remote authenticated attacker with admin privileges to achieve remote code execution.
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 confidenceArgument injection vulnerability in Ivanti Connect Secure and Policy Secure allows an authenticated admin remote attacker to inject arbitrary arguments into system commands, leading to remote code execution. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation on admin-accessible parameters.

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 product and versionAccess the admin console or use the system's version reporting mechanism to determine if the device is running Ivanti Connect Secure or Ivanti Policy Secure, and note the exact version number installed.Affected if The installed version is 22.7 or any version lower than 22.7 on either product.
-
Verify admin access surfaceReview the configuration to determine whether the administrative interface is exposed to untrusted networks or users. Check the list of assigned admin accounts and their privilege levels.Affected if Administrative access is granted to users outside the fully trusted personnel group, or the admin interface is accessible from less trusted network segments.
-
Inspect for anomalous admin activityReview administrative audit logs, command history, or system logs for unexpected or unauthorized administrative commands, especially those involving system command execution or configuration changes initiated by admin accounts.Affected if Logs show administrative commands or actions that were not initiated by known, authorized administrators.
-
Check for evidence of exploitationExamine system logs and network traffic for signs of argument injection attempts, such as unexpected arguments in command execution logs, or connections to suspicious external addresses following admin authentication.Affected if Logs contain command patterns consistent with argument injection, or unexpected network connections follow admin authentication events.
A user is affected if their Ivanti Connect Secure or Policy Secure installation runs version 22.7 or any version below 22.7, and the admin interface is accessible to users who are not fully trusted.

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 · scoped22.7
Upgrade to Ivanti Connect Secure version 22.7R2.1 (or 9.1R18.7) and Policy Secure version 22.7R1.1 or later. Limit admin access to trusted personnel and monitor for unauthorized administrative activities until patched.
Ivanti Connect Secure: upgrade to 22.7R2.1 or 9.1R18.7 (or later); Ivanti Policy Secure: upgrade to 22.7R1.1 (or later)
- 1. Identify the exact current version of Ivanti Connect Secure or Policy Secure by checking the admin dashboard or system information.
- 2. For Ivanti Connect Secure: upgrade to version 22.7R2.1 (or later) or 9.1R18.7 (or later) depending on your release track.
- 3. For Ivanti Policy Secure: upgrade to version 22.7R1.1 (or later).
- 4. Before upgrading, review Ivanti's upgrade documentation and ensure you have a complete backup of the configuration.
- 5. Schedule the upgrade during a maintenance window as the device may require a restart.
- 6. After upgrade, verify the new version is correctly installed and test that administrative functions work properly.
- 7. Review audit logs following the upgrade to confirm no unauthorized access occurred during the transition.
