CVE-2024-13842

Sensitive data disclosure via hard-coded cryptographic key

Published Feb 11, 2025 · Updated Feb 11, 2025

Hard-coded key use in Ivanti Connect Secure before 22.7R2.3 and Policy Secure before 22.7R1.3 allows local users to read sensitive data. The published record identifies the embedded key as the faulty operation, but Ivanti has not disclosed the component containing it or how the key exposes data. Exploitation requires local authenticated access with administrative privileges, and the reported consequence is limited to reading sensitive data.
