Ivanti Releases Security Update for Cloud Services Appliance

Ivanti has released a security update addressing an OS command injection vulnerability (CVE-2024-8190) affecting Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) 4.6 (all versions before patch 519). A cyber threat actor could exploit this vulnerability to take control of an affected system.  

At this time, Ivanti has confirmed limited exploitation and urges its customers using the affected versions to upgrade to CSA version 5.0. Ivanti no longer supports CSA 4.6 (end-of-life). 

CISA recommends users and administrators review CISA and FBI’s joint guidance on eliminating OS command injections and the Ivanti security advisory and apply the recommended updates. 

Note: CISA has added CVE-2024-8190 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, which, per Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities, requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the specified due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. 

CISA Releases Analysis of FY23 Risk and Vulnerability Assessments

CISA has released an analysis and infographic detailing the findings from the 143 Risk and Vulnerability Assessments (RVAs) conducted across multiple critical infrastructure sectors in fiscal year 2023 (FY23).

The analysis details a sample attack path including tactics and steps a cyber threat actor could follow to compromise an organization with weaknesses representative of those CISA observed in FY23 RVAs. The infographic highlights the most successful techniques for each tactic that RVAs documented. Both the analysis and infographic map threat actor behavior to the MITRE ATT&CK® framework.

CISA encourages network defenders to review the analysis and infographic and apply the recommended mitigations to protect against the observed tactics and techniques.
