Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2019-11510 in the wild since at least 3 Nov 2021, including in ransomware campaigns.\n\nAffected product: Ivanti Connect Secure. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-11510/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-11510/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-11510","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-11510/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-11510","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6wr2-qx99-98mg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Pulse Secure PCS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can read arbitrary files on Pulse Secure PCS appliances via crafted URIs, exposing sensitive configuration and user data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"connect_secure","vendor":"ivanti"}],"cvss":{"score":9.9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AC:L/AV:N/A:H/C:H/I:H/PR:L/S:C/UI:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"In Pulse Secure Pulse Connect Secure (PCS) 8.2 before 8.2R12.1, 8.3 before 8.3R7.1, and 9.0 before 9.0R3.4, an unauthenticated remote attacker can send a specially crafted URI to perform an arbitrary file reading vulnerability .","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2019-04-24","github_poc":13,"max_poc_stars":359,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2019-08-21T08:40:26Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/projectzeroindia/CVE-2019-11510","stars":359,"title":"Exploit for Arbitrary File Read on Pulse Secure SSL VPN (CVE-2019-11510)"},{"date":"2019-09-09T15:58:39Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/BishopFox/pwn-pulse","stars":132,"title":"Exploit for Pulse Connect Secure SSL VPN arbitrary file read vulnerability (CVE-2019-11510)"},{"date":"2019-08-27T09:21:10Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/jas502n/CVE-2019-11510-1","stars":52,"title":"SSL VPN Rce"},{"date":"2019-08-22T08:18:19Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/imjdl/CVE-2019-11510-poc","stars":50,"title":"Pulse Secure SSL VPN  pre-auth file reading"},{"date":"2020-04-16T16:32:47Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/cisagov/check-your-pulse","stars":28,"title":"This utility can help determine if indicators of compromise (IOCs) exist in the log files of a Pulse Secure VPN Appliance for CVE-2019-11510."},{"date":"2019-08-27T03:04:19Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/r00tpgp/http-pulse_ssl_vpn.nse","stars":18,"title":"Nmap NSE script to detect Pulse Secure SSL VPN file disclosure CVE-2019-11510"},{"date":"2019-12-07T17:09:24Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/aqhmal/pulsexploit","stars":9,"title":"Automated script for Pulse Secure SSL VPN exploit (CVE-2019-11510) using hosts retrieved from Shodan API.
