Authentication bypass via path traversal
Published Jan 14, 2025 · Updated Jan 16, 2025
Path traversal in Ivanti Avalanche before 6.4.7 allows remote attackers to bypass authentication through crafted web requests. Ivanti identifies path traversal as the mechanism but has not disclosed the affected request handler, path parameter, or normalization failure. No credentials or user interaction are required; the record confirms authentication bypass but does not specify which protected functions become reachable.
