Ivanti Connect Secure and Policy Secure Attack

What is Ivanti Connect Secure and Policy Secure Attack?
Ivanti disclosed two zero-day vulnerabilities in their Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS) and Ivanti Policy Secure gateways. CVE-2023-46805 is a vulnerability found in the web component of Ivanti Connect Secure (9.x, 22.x) and Ivanti Policy Secure. This authentication bypass vulnerability allows a remote attacker to access restricted resources by bypassing control checks. While CVE-2024-21887 is a command injection vulnerability in the same web components. Read more

What is the FortiGuard Labs analysis? 

The CVE-2023-46805 and CVE-2024-21887 vulnerabilities are coupled together to perform exploitation on servers running on the Ivanti software. The attack does not require authentication and enables a threat actor to send malicious requests and execute arbitrary commands on the system for further exploitation. FortiGuard Labs has observed high exploitation attempts since the release of the signature to detect and block the Ivanti ICS Authentication Bypass vulnerability (CVE-2023-46805). FortiGuard Labs recommends administrators to follow vendor’s mitigation steps and apply patches as soon as they are provided.

How does Fortinet detect and protect against the Ivanti Connect Secure and Policy Secure Authentication Bypass Attack? 

  • To detect and block any traffic targeting the related vulnerability, the FortiGuard IPS signature is available. 
  • To detect and respond to the attack, the FortiGuard Outbreak Detection service provides automatic event handler and reports via FortiAnalyzer.
  • Indicators of Compromise Service is available for Threat Hunting via FortiAnalyzer, FortiSIEM, and FortiSOAR.
