Sensitive Log Data Exposure in Ivanti Secure Access Client

IdentifiersCVE-2026-7431CWE-732· Incorrect Permission Assignment…

CVE-2026-7431 is an incorrect permission assignment vulnerability in Ivanti Secure Access Client for Windows before version 22.8R6. The flaw affects a critical resource implemented as a shared memory section used for log handling. Due to overly permissive access controls on that shared memory section, a local authenticated user can access the resource with write capability and thereby read or alter sensitive log data.

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 allows a local authenticated attacker to access sensitive log information and tamper with log contents. This can expose potentially sensitive operational or diagnostic data and undermine log integrity, which may hinder auditing, incident response, and forensic analysis. Available reporting characterizes the issue as Medium severity with a CVSS score of 4.4.

Mitigation

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

If immediate upgrade is not possible, limit local access to affected systems to trusted users only, reduce the number of authenticated local accounts, and monitor for unexpected access to or tampering with client log data. Because the issue is rooted in incorrect permissions on a shared memory section, there is no specific complete mitigation in the provided content short of applying the vendor fix.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade Ivanti Secure Access Client for Windows to version 22.8R6 or later. Ivanti identified 22.8R6 as the resolved version for affected 22.8R5 and earlier releases.
