Root code execution by local low-privileged users
Published May 31, 2024 · Updated Mar 13, 2025
Local privilege escalation in Ivanti Secure Access Client for Linux before 22.7R1 allows local users to execute code as root. Neither the CNA record nor Ivanti's public advisory discloses the affected Linux component or the operation that mishandles privilege boundaries. Exploitation requires an existing low-privileged local account and user interaction, after which attacker-controlled code runs with root privileges.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=22.7 <22.7r1
- Affected versionversion=22.7R1 <22.7R1
