Network configuration modification via writable client files
Published Nov 14, 2023 · Updated Aug 29, 2024
Improper file permissions in Ivanti Secure Access Client allow local users to alter system-wide network settings on affected Linux hosts. The client leaves unspecified security-relevant files modifiable by a logged-in user, enabling unauthorized system-wide configuration changes. Exploitation requires a local authenticated session; Ivanti has not disclosed the file names or a narrower resulting capability.
