Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) contains an OS command injection vulnerability in the administrative console which can allow an authenticated attacker with application admin privileges to pass commands to the underlying OS.
As Ivanti CSA has reached End-of-Life status, users are urged to remove CSA 4.6.x from service or upgrade to the 5.0.x line of supported solutions, as future vulnerabilities on the 4.6.x version of CSA are unlikely to receive future security updates.
Risk Analysis
Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) contains an OS command injection vulnerability in its administrative console. An authenticated attacker with application admin privileges can execute commands on the underlying operating system. The high EPSS score of 0.91910 indicates a very high likelihood of exploitation, making this a critical concern. It is confirmed as exploited by CISA.

Technical Analysis
CVE-2024-8190 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
CISA has added CVE-2024-8190 to the Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, confirming active exploitation in the wild. U.S. federal agencies are required to patch this within the mandated timeframe, and all organizations should treat remediation as urgent.
