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 · unedited
OS command injection in the admin web console of Ivanti CSA before version 5.0.5 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 confidence

OS command injection vulnerability in the admin web console of Ivanti Connect Secure Appliance (CSA) prior to version 5.0.5 allows a remote authenticated attacker with admin privileges to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands, leading to full remote code execution on the affected device.

MitigationUpgrade Ivanti CSA to version 5.0.5 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict administrative access to trusted IPs only and monitor for suspicious admin sessions.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the installed product
    Locate the Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) in your environment and confirm it is the target product for this CVE (note: the affected product is Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance, not Connect Secure Appliance)
    Affected if The system is an Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA)
  2. Determine the installed version
    Access the admin web console or system management interface to view the current CSA version number
    Affected if The installed version is lower than 5.0.5 (any version < 5.0.5 is affected)
  3. Check admin web console exposure
    Verify whether the admin web console is accessible from network locations, particularly from untrusted or external networks
    Affected if The admin web console is exposed to untrusted networks (internet or non-segmented internal networks)
  4. Review admin account configuration
    Examine the list of admin accounts with privileges to access the admin web console
    Affected if There are admin accounts configured with privileges to access the admin web console

You are affected if the system is an Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance running a version lower than 5.0.5 with an exposed admin web console and active admin accounts.
