The vulnerability, which impacts Ivanti CSA 4.6 that has recently reached end-of-life, could be leveraged to enable remote code execution, according to Ivanti, which urged immediate upgrades to Ivanti CSA 5.0.
After executing several PowerShell scripts using WhatsUp Gold's Active Monitor PowerShell Script functionality, threat actors proceeded with exploiting the 'msiexec.exe' Windows utility to install the Atera Agent, SimpleHelp Remote Access, Splashtop Remote, and Radmin remote access tools for persistence and further payload deployment.
No active exploitation of the vulnerability, which stemmed from the agent portal's untrusted data serialization issue, has been observed so far, according to Ivanti, which also patched nearly two dozen other critical and high-severity bugs in EPM, Cloud Service Appliance, and Workspace Control.
