An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2019-11539 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-2019-11539/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-11539/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-11539","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-11539/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-11539","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mchx-p635-vpq8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Pulse Secure VPN","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker can inject and execute arbitrary commands via the admin web interface of Pulse Secure Connect Secure and Policy Secure appliances.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"connect_secure","vendor":"ivanti"},{"product":"policy_secure","vendor":"ivanti"},{"product":"pulse_policy_secure","vendor":"pulsesecure"}],"cvss":{"score":8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AC:H/AV:N/A:H/C:H/I:H/PR:H/S:C/UI:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"In Pulse Secure Pulse Connect Secure version 9.0RX before 9.0R3.4, 8.3RX before 8.3R7.1, 8.2RX before 8.2R12.1, and 8.1RX before 8.1R15.1 and Pulse Policy Secure version 9.0RX before 9.0R3.2, 5.4RX before 5.4R7.1, 5.3RX before 5.3R12.1, 5.2RX before 5.2R12.1, and 5.1RX before 5.1R15.1, the admin web interface allows an authenticated attacker to inject and execute commands.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2019-04-24","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":132,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2019-09-04T13:06:02Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/0xDezzy/CVE-2019-11539","stars":132,"title":"Exploit for the Post-Auth RCE vulnerability in Pulse Secure Connect"},{"date":"2019-04-24","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/linux/http/pulse_secure_cmd_exec","stars":null,"title":"Pulse Secure VPN Arbitrary Command Execution"},{"date":"2019-09-06","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"47354","stars":null,"title":"Pulse Secure 8.1R15.1/8.2/8.3/9.0 SSL VPN -
