CVE-2024-9844
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 · uneditedInsufficient server-side controls in Secure Application Manager of Ivanti Connect Secure before version 22.7R2.4 allows a remote authenticated attacker to bypass restrictions.
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 · moderate confidenceInsufficient server-side controls in the Secure Application Manager component of Ivanti Connect Secure allow an authenticated remote attacker to bypass security restrictions. This authorization bypass could enable users to access resources or functionality beyond their intended permissions.

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 Ivanti Connect Secure versionAccess the admin interface and navigate to System > Status or use the CLI command 'show version' to retrieve the installed software versionAffected if The displayed version is 22.7 or any version lower than 22.7
-
Confirm Secure Application Manager is in useNavigate to the admin interface and locate the Secure Application Manager module or check for related user resource policies. This component is typically found under Users > Resource Policies or similar policy configuration sectionsAffected if Secure Application Manager policies or resource configurations exist and are actively assigned to users
-
Review user role assignments for overprivileged accessExamine the role definitions in the admin interface under Users > User Roles. Check if any roles grant access to resources beyond the intended scope, particularly cross-tenant or cross-group resource accessAffected if Roles permit access to resources or functionality outside the assigned user group's normal permissions
You are affected if Ivanti Connect Secure is version 22.7 or lower AND the Secure Application Manager component is configured with user roles that could be exploited for authorization bypass.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 Ivanti Connect Secure to version 22.7R2.4 or later. If immediate patching is not possible, restrict network access to the admin interface and monitor authentication logs for anomalous session behavior.
22.7R2.4 or later
- Download Ivanti Connect Secure version 22.7R2.4 or later from the official Ivanti support portal
- Review the upgrade documentation and release notes for version 22.7R2.4
- Plan maintenance window as upgrades may require brief downtime
- Back up current configuration before proceeding
- Upload and apply the upgrade following Ivanti's standard upgrade procedures
- Verify the upgrade was successful and the version reflects 22.7R2.4 or later
- Test that Secure Application Manager functionality is working correctly
