It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-41720 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2023-41720/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41720/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-41720","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41720/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-41720","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rphc-vh34-9jmw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ivanti Connect Secure","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker with existing access can escalate privileges on Ivanti Connect Secure appliances by exploiting a vulnerable installed application.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"connect_secure","vendor":"ivanti"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"A vulnerability exists on all versions of Ivanti Connect Secure below 22.6R2 where an attacker with a foothold on an Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS) appliance can escalate their privileges by exploiting a vulnerable installed application.
