Two zero-day vulnerabilities in Ivanti Connect Secure and Ivanti Policy Secure have been exploited in the wild, with at least one attack attributed to nation-state actors.
Background
On January 10, Ivanti released a security advisory for two zero-day vulnerabilities that were exploited in-the-wild in limited, targeted attacks.
| CVE | Description | CVSSv3 |
|---|---|---|
| CVE-2023-46805 | Ivanti Connect Secure and Ivanti Policy Secure Authentication Bypass Vulnerability | 8.2 |
| CVE-2024-21887 | Ivanti Connect Secure and Ivanti Policy Secure Command Injection Vulnerability | 9.1 |
Both flaws were exploited as part of a vulnerability chain. At the time the advisory was released, Ivanti noted that no patch has been released, however a mitigation script is available and should be used immediately. The advisory goes on to warn that “It is critical that you immediately take action to ensure you are fully protected.”
Analysis
CVE-2023-46805 is an authentication bypass vulnerability in the web component of Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS), previously known as Pulse Connect Secure and Ivanti Policy Secure. This vulnerability allows an attacker to bypass control checks and access restricted resources. It affects all supported versions of Ivanti ICS and Policy Secure 9.x and 22.x.
CVE-2024-21887 is a command injection vulnerability in the web component of Ivanti ICS and Policy Secure that can be abused to execute arbitrary commands by an authenticated user. As with CVE-2023-46805, this vulnerability also affects all supported versions of Ivanti ICS and Policy Secure 9.x and 22.x.
Zero-day exploitation began in December 2023
According to Ivanti and a blog by Volexity, these two vulnerabilities were exploited in the wild in a chained attack for unauthenticated remote code execution (RCE) as early as December 3, 2023.
Attacks involved implantation of GLASSTOKEN webshell, attributed to UTA0178
In its blog, Volexity attributes the zero-day exploitation of these flaws to an unknown threat actor referred to as UTA0178, which they believe is a “Chinese nation-state level threat actor.”
As part of these attacks, UTA0178 was observed deploying webshells to multiple systems. Webshells give attackers the ability to maintain persistence on a network after compromise, even if the affected organization patches the flaws used to gain access to the network.
The webshell, called GLASSTOKEN, was found on both internet-facing and internal assets.
For more detailed analysis of the attacks, please refer to the Volexity blog.
Historical targeting of Pulse Connect Secure
Previously, Pulse Connect Secure has been targeted by a variety of threat actors including ransomware groups and other nation-state aligned threat actors over the last five years:
| CVEs | Description |
|---|---|
| CVE-2019-11510 | Ivanti Pulse Connect Secure Arbitrary File Read Vulnerability |
| CVE-2019-11539 | Ivanti Pulse Connect Secure and Policy Secure Command Injection Vulnerability |
| CVE-2020-8243 | Ivanti Pulse Connect Secure Code Injection Vulnerability |
| CVE-2020-8260 | Ivanti Pulse Connect Secure Unrestricted File Upload Vulnerability |
| CVE-2021-22893 | Ivanti Pulse Connect Secure Authentication Bypass Vulnerability |
| CVE-2021-22894 | Ivanti Pulse Connect Secure Buffer Overflow Vulnerability |
| CVE-2021-22899 | Ivanti Pulse Connect Secure Command Injection Vulnerability |
| CVE-2021-22900 | Ivanti Pulse Connect Secure Multiple Unrestricted Uploads Vulnerability |
We’ve also published several blog posts about vulnerabilities in Pulse Connect Secure:
In addition to these blogs, we published a blog about the continuous targeting of SSL VPNs and the importance of patching such flaws in August 2021. The blog, titled “Hold the Door: Why Organizations Need to Prioritize Patching SSL VPNs,” references CVE-2019-11510, a critical vulnerability in Ivanti Pulse Connect Secure that has been routinely targeted by attackers for nearly five years.
Proof of concept
At the time this blog post was published, no public proof-of-concept (PoC) had been identified for either of these vulnerabilities. However, given the severity of these flaws being chained together and the previous unknown attacks utilizing these vulnerabilities in the wild, we anticipate that exploit code may be available soon.
Solution
As of January 10, Ivanti does not have patches readily available to address these vulnerabilities. However, they have released a mitigation file (mitigation.release.20240107.1.xml) for customers to utilize immediately until patches are released. According to Ivanti, patches will begin being released the week of January 22, with the final patches expected the week of February 19. The following table from Ivanti reflects their expected release date for know affected versions:
