OS Command Injection RCE in Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance

IdentifiersCVE-2024-8190CWE-78· Improper Neutralization of Special…

CVE-2024-8190 is an OS command injection vulnerability in Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) version 4.6 Patch 518 and earlier. According to the provided content, the flaw allows a remote authenticated attacker with administrator-level privileges to inject operating system commands and achieve remote code execution on the appliance. The issue was later described in reporting as part of attack chains involving other Ivanti CSA vulnerabilities, particularly CVE-2024-8963, which can provide the administrative access needed to reach the vulnerable functionality.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation results in remote code execution on the Ivanti CSA appliance. An attacker able to satisfy the privilege requirement can execute arbitrary OS commands in the appliance context, enabling full compromise of the device, deployment of webshells or backdoors, credential theft, persistence, and use of the appliance as a pivot point for further intrusion. The provided content also indicates the vulnerability was observed in the wild and chained with authentication bypass/path traversal issues to achieve unauthenticated compromise in real attacks.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure of Ivanti CSA management interfaces, restrict administrative access to trusted networks and accounts only, and monitor aggressively for signs of compromise. The supplied content recommends reviewing administrative users, broker logs, EDR alerts, suspicious command execution artifacts, webshell presence under /opt/landesk, and PHP configuration changes. Because patching does not remediate historic compromise, potentially affected systems should be investigated for prior intrusion, isolated if compromised, and rebuilt from trusted sources with credential rotation as needed.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance to a fixed release. The provided content states CVE-2024-8190 affects CSA 4.6 Patch 518 and earlier, and references Patch 519 and later 5.x releases as the remediation path in the broader CSA vulnerability set. Because CSA 4.6 is end-of-life per the supplied material, upgrading to a supported 5.x release, specifically at least 5.0.2 or later where applicable, is the preferred remediation over remaining on 4.6.

CVE-2024-8190-unauthMaturityPoCVerified exploit

This repository provides a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for chaining CVE-2024-8963 (path traversal) and CVE-2024-8190 (OS command injection) to achieve unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) on Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) version 4.6 and below. The main exploit script, 'cve-2024-8190.py', is a Python tool that targets the vulnerable '/client/index.php%3F.php/gsb/datetime.php' endpoint, bypassing authentication by leveraging the path traversal flaw. It extracts a CSRF token from the response and then submits a POST request with a crafted 'TIMEZONE' parameter containing the attacker's command, resulting in arbitrary command execution on the target system. The README provides usage instructions and a demonstration, including out-of-band verification via ICMP (ping). Additionally, the repository includes a markdown file ('invanti-c2-in-the-wild.md') describing a real-world attacker backdoor that leverages similar vulnerabilities for persistence, credential theft, and data exfiltration via the database. The exploit is a functional PoC, not weaponized, and is intended for authorized testing and research purposes only.

CVE-2024-8190MaturityPoCVerified exploit

This repository contains a proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-8190, targeting Ivanti Cloud Service Appliance (CSA) devices. The main file, CVE-2024-8190.py, is a Python script that performs an authenticated command injection attack. The exploit works by first authenticating to the target device using provided credentials, then retrieving a CSRF token from the /gsb/datetime.php endpoint. It crafts a POST request to the same endpoint, injecting an arbitrary command into the TIMEZONE parameter, which is then executed on the target system. The script requires the attacker to supply the target URL, a valid username and password, and the command to execute. The README.md provides usage instructions and background information. No hardcoded IPs or domains are present; the script is designed to be used against user-specified targets. The exploit is a functional proof-of-concept and does not include advanced features such as output retrieval or post-exploitation modules.
